    Is it possible to park in Shelbourne Park during work hours, or are there other affordable car parks in the Grand Canal Docks area for occasional parking?

    If I was heading to GDC in a car I'd normally park on Sir John Rodgersons quay. Even with big events on in the board gas there would be a couple of spaces there.

    Thanks, is the more for events you use that location?

    Im looking for occasional ~8 hour work day parking that doesn’t cost the price of Q-park!

    Can you use the train and do a park and ride somewhere?

    Yes, I currently use the Red Cow, but wondered if there are other options.

    I used Shelbourne Park Apcoa parking yesterday and it worked for what I needed. Just a warning there are quite a few reserved spaces along by buildings and the outer fence, some with more visible 'reserved' signs than others.

    Park at Clondalkin/Fonthill station and train from there to Grand Canal Dock?

    Quieter at the moment no schools and people on holidays.

    Such a pain driving into town now. Pretty much most roads on my commute are bottlenecked with restrictions or roadworks. Just not worth it.
