Car clamped by DCc

My car was clamped last Monday. I think it was unfair so I will like to hear some opinions. The reason for clamp was parking opposite continuous white line. There are three lanes on my opinion.

Pics following.

I have emailed garda and RSA.

Also got email from DCCpp

All opinions will be really appreciated.

Except if you work for DCCPp and you clamp car illegally.
Why they are allowed to put a clamp if they are not police?? Do they have the knowledge to apply any law?

Traffic tickets and clamps are applied under bylaws, which allows civilians to apply said bylaws. The staff engaged in issuing tickets and clamps are generally permitted to undertake such work as "authorised persons".

Like all authorised licenced motorists knowing the rules about not parking opposite solid white lines?

Big road, you'll need to show us exactly.

You sure it wasn't for parking some other way?

artanevilla · 23-05-2018 7:40pm

Clonliffe is two lanes with the odd filter lane.

Just had a browse down Clonliffe road and from what I can tell the only places there are continuous white lines is around the junctions and there are double yellow lines on either side of the road?
(it's possible I missed something though of course)

When you pass the Mather DEI institute about 100 metres further there is a junction. There are two lanes in one side of the road . You can keep straight or turn right to the junction. There is another lane in the opposite direction.

If anyone can pot it I'm not allowed I'm a new member
