Mater private parking

sineads80

Guys, help?! Daycase in hosp on Thurs. Driving up from Cork. Ive read up on the parking in the area. Just wondering how that car park near Mater private is fairing these days in lockdown?! As in, is it still impossible to get a space?! I cant walk far so public transport not an option. Thanks for the heads up in advance!!

I've always gotten a space in the mater car park. In fairness I've always been in for 7.30am for injections amd out by about 10 and there is a queue then.
Other than that it's on street parking. Eccles st is a disaster

Hi there. If you can’t get into mater car park (and it’s often busy) use dalymount car park. It’s Apcoa so it’s findable on google.
Seven euros a day. Not bad.
On street parking not good as you have to run in and out to feed meter.

For appointments for the mater or temple street even if they are later we always go early like be there for 8am and even then can't always get parking. We tend to always bring a driver or get taxi for that reason. Then just go get breakfast or chill until the appointment.

On street parking can be controlled with a smart phone. So the days of having to feed a meter are gone thankfully.

After all the promises of enough parking there never is.

Haven't been there done lockdown maybe it's quieter now.

You can park on-street using https://www.parkingtag.ie/parknow#/parknow/location without registering or downloading an app.

Thanks a mill. With the on street parking, do they enforce moving the car and not reparking on same st as they claim on their app?!

You need to check the signs on the street. Most places in the city centre have a 3 hour maximum stay. You can keep buying tickets as long as you want but you must move your car every 3 hours. I'm not sure if that means to another space on the same street or another street entirely.

I can't remember ever having a problem with it. Maybe my appointments were all under 3hrs since I've been using it. Its been a while.

To be sure to be sure, park in what they call 'Clery's' car park on Marlborough Street/Cathal Brugha Street and get a taxi up to the door of the Mater.
