Absolute vermin.
This has made my day.

Replies on twitter talking of people cutting the clams off. Surely there are repercussions for that?
Do clampers check for tax, NCT and valid insurance?
I sent video to Dublin City Council parking unit of a builder cutting one of their clamps off in town a couple of years back. They had no interest in it.
tweet has been deleted, this was it:
That looks delightful
Good that the Gardai have come out with a statement telling people that there was plenty of warning on the Croke Park website and that they’ve no tolerance to illegal parking on match days. Wish they had no tolerance all the time
They shouldn’t be warning them at all.
These toerags know they’re breaking the law.
AGS need to start tackling the problem in housing estates.
That tweet made my weekend. She seems to have deleted her Twitter account now too. Wonderful heart warming stuff.
Great article.
Anyone read any of those books?
Wales leading the way!!
Bring it on here!
Waste of time unless enforced. We have a default limit of 50kph in Ireland, but in reality most traffic travels at 60kph.
My estate in Limerick has had a speed limit of 30kph since 2017. Literally nobody obeys it because its never going to be enforced.
Great news!! 😍
Wasn’t aware that BT had dropped their branding from the car park, but seems like they could see the writing on the wall and it was obviously damaging to them.
Think David McWilliams wrote about that some time ago, seems they were reading his stuff.
Wow, has DCC grown a pair? Only weeks ago they stopped the lower segment of Capel being pedestrianised due to the demands of Arnotts car park to have direct access to the quays, which should not be accommodating car traffic anyway.
The lower part of Grafton Street can’t be pedestrianised due to the buses and trams.
In fact far more buses will be using it once the realigned network is implemented with three spines.
I can only assume that you meant Capel Street or Liffey Street?
Yes meant Capel st.
It'll be interesting to see once SWS is pedestrianised how those internal layout issues in the BT car park will suddenly no longer exist.
Agreed that changing the signs is unlikely to make much of a practical difference but having a lower default speed limit means a road's design speed will be lower and if there are any works to be carried out it will be designed accordingly to slow the traffic e.g. narrowed lane widths etc.
This is great news! Only thing to note is that as of now, they have only voted on adding it to the development plan from what I can see. No word yet on it being officially pedestrianised on x date. Hopefully that comes soon enough!
The headline is very misleading.
The reality is that they have an objective of pedestrianisation, but there’s no definitive plan.
Precisely
This changes very little. It's not being pedestrianised any time soon. The headline should be changed.
What are the car park's "insurmountable structural difficulties that cannot be overcome"? You just turn right and right again?
The very complex process of repainting some markings....
How depressing is this
We had that problem that was solved by introducing pay parking. No house can have more than two permits carrying an annual charge - any more must pay the hourly charge.
Obviously, there likely would be a limit to the number of spaces as well. If there are more tickets required than spaces, 1st ticket is one price, 2nd costs much more. Clamps then tend to sort the problem out. We pay €50 per year.
50€ a year to store your personal property in a public space?
Or have I read that wrong?
What's depressing is this statement.
"In what’s believed to be one of the first efforts in the country to tackle the problem"
No, bending over backwards for people to store multiple cars on street is not tackling the problem. Not even close.
We should go for the Japanese solution - you can't buy a car unless you prove you have private off-road storage space for it.
It could be put that way, but at least I paid something for the right to pay to park my car outside my house, or any house in my street instead of not being able to park there for free because others parked theirs blocking the street.
My partner is disabled and needs to be dropped by car at the door if we go to events, meals or on errands. Anywhere that goes "pedestrianised" such as Capel Street where there's no taxi or car drop off therefore becomes a no go zone for him. I also remember when I was almost knocked down by a speeding cyclist in Smithfield tearing down the down ramp near Bel Cibo, anyone who wasn't fast on their feet would be a goner. The nutty Green Party don't give a damn about the disabled or mobility impaired. Voting with my feet and just won't be spending any money in these areas.
