I was in one of the units just off the Airside park in Swords (but not in the main part itself), I was at a place where you can do flight simulator for fun.
At the entrance to the area there was a clamping sign stating the rules of the car park which was attached to a lamppost way up high. There’s no chance a passing driver could see it when driving nor could a pedestrian conveniently read it either. It could easily be missed when the driver is focused on the road.
There are no other repeat signage.
I thought the rules and conditions under which a car could be clamped had to be clearly stated. I saw a car clamped which was double parked. I looked at the note attached which said “parked out of bay”.
Rightly or wrongly clamped, this seems to be in contravention to the act which stated that the criteria under which clamping is carried out must be clearly stated.
It also says on the sign (see attached picture) that no responsibility will be accepted for DAMAGE caused by fitting the clamp. Can responsibility for tortious damage be exonerated by signage?
