    I am so angry but amused at the same time.....
    Parked on O’Connell Street, bought a book of parking discs in the local shop, displayed a disc and went about my business. Returned to find a parking fine for €40 for ‘alleged offence – no disc displayed’ my disc had slipped on the dash so the date was not visible.
    Called to complain, was advised to appeal, I did and included the receipt for book of tickets. I got a very quick response to say that I had to pay and called again to complain.
    Was advised, in so many words, that it was his word against mine “they had to go with what he had stated on the ticket” procedure was to decline the first appeal as normally if someone is trying to pull a fast one they will pay after the appeal is declined.
    I went off on one......why have an appeals system in the first place??? I am not paying the fine....

    You can park on O'Connell Street?

    I can't believe I never realised that before.

    EDIT:Oh you meant the lame O'Connell Street

    Sounds like your fault for not making sure your disc would be displayed clearly.

    Angle grinder on a parking ticket is a bit extreme.

    Angle grinder on a Traffic Warden. Now there's an idea!!!

    Yes because Limerick City is noted for its very rural culture, and vast areas of bog :rolleyes:

    That’s a much nicer description of Limerick, thanks! :D

    Glad to see that we have moved away from the negative labels.
