cheap parking dublin city south

funnyname

APCOA had a carpark just off Grattan St for €10 a day and Euro carparks had one on Macken street also for €10 a day. Both are now closed and I can't find anywhere else in the same price bracket for this area (radius of a mile would do), anyone able to help?

Looks like Connolly Station is my best option, anyone got other options?

Mr Simpson

I doubt theres anywhere cheaper than connolly in town, parking is ridiculously expensive in town.

I thought I saw somewhere else on boards someone saying Stephens Green was a tenner a day but maybe that was just a late evening deal seems a bit cheap for there.

Anywhere close to (or in some cases not so close to) the city centre is zone yellow and costs €2.90 an hour. There are no 'deals' for onstreet parking, you pay based on actual time, unless it's outside the times indicated on the nearby sign.

I'm not sure if the off-street car parks mentioned by the OP were closed down by the council or maybe they were sold to developers before the crash but there's very few of them around these days. Multistorey and onstreet seem to be the only places you can park these days.

What's unpredictable is the hours when you have to pay, in some cases you can find a road where one side is pay 24 hours and the opposite side is 7-7, Herbert Road in Sandymount is an example where this happens so you need to make sure to read the sign on the side of the street where you park, not the sign across the road!

There is a map showing the zones at this webpage, scroll down to 'How Much to Pay' and there is a link to the map .....

Mr Simpson

The off street car parks mentioned were closed by dcc due to lack off planning permission. Stephens Green SC is over €3 per hour, like most CC car parks.

Jervis is €12 per day

Thanks for all the helpful replies, I'm also considering Heuston station and getting a bus as I'm travelling from the west.

There is also another small pay and display carpark at the corner of lower grand canal st and Albert court east. It's €8 per day and run by ncps but you'd have to get there early as theres only about 10-12 spaces.

Where are you starting your journey from, OP? It's worth asking you this in case there is a public transport option that might help you out a little.

There is an enterprising landlord renting our parking in his empty office block on Grattan Place (http://maps.google.ie/?ll=53.339807,-6.242487&spn=0.001659,0.005284&hnear=Dublin,+County+Dublin&t=h&z=18)

€10 max per day. Quite popular when I was using it last October and open 24/7 as far as I could see.

I should have been specific in my earlier post, I meant Stephens Green shopping centre which does indeed advertise €10 all day parking has to be booked online in advance, see here

Mr Simpson

Didnt know about that deal, very good to know, considering two hours in the place and you'd nearly spend €10

Yeah but unfortunately that's now closed as someone mentioned earlier.
