    I suppose it depends on what the tickets are for if it's the local Garda ball then maybe but if it's tickets for illegal parking then no, they are right to do it.

    Good! From what I hear, idiots who are park wreckelssly when picking their kids up are more dangerous to the kids than the people they're tryign to protect them from.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Park properly next time.
    Just because you're picking up your kids doesn't mean the rules of the road don't apply.

    Too feckin' right.

    Bloody orange faced white haired bints "parking", often double parked, in the middle of the road (without indicating of course) with every door of their 4x4 flung wide open.

    When I was a kid, the only cars at the school belonged to the teachers. Kids either walked, cycled or got the bus. No wonder so many kids are obese. Fair play to the gardai, might make parents cop on.

    I guess we will see what the Judge has to say about access to the bear.

    I was actually replying to the OP and it would seem that I was correcting your post but I wasn't.
    I have since read your post and am aware that you were using the American, Indian, French version. It is obvious.

    Who ever said those people wouldn't be getting prosecuted. The Gardai don't send reports out to every concerned citizen in the country and update them on the latest prosecutions. Go down to the courthouse and have a look yourself when their cases come up.

    fair play to the garda

    outside one of our local primary schools it is bedlam every school day morning and evening , its a main road , so the tail backs are huge

    no dont get me wrong , i dont mind waiting for kids to get to school safely but jesus the parents at this school really take the piss ,
    so much so they have signs up 200 meters either side stating NO PARKING
    does it stop them , does it sh1t

    now not only is it dangerous for the kids darting in and out of the traffic but drivers getting frustrated add to the danger

    i would not mind, but a lot of the cars come from the estate AROUND THE CORNER - i jest not , less than 100 feet away is the entrance to my estate and the fat little fu2kers are ferried to and from school

    so as i said fair ball to the garda - nothing else is working so slap parking fines and points on these ignorant parents

    they would be the first to give out about bad parking AFTER little johnny/mary gets a belt of a car

    Exactly. Little fat johnnys mother will be the first to scream as her sons chicken leg snaps under a wheel.

    Tickets?
    That's not good enough. I want to see tow trucks and cranes to remove the deliberately abandoned vehicles and ensure my navigation and safety is not compromised by mobile steel cages on the footpath.

    So the parents should get away with breaking the law because they are parents?

    Not sure about that one.

    +1

    Especially when you get women drivers doing "6-point turns" in the middle of the road too.

    Much of a likeness in terms of priority, I would have said.

    Gardai actually enforcing the traffic laws. Where will it all end?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    The consequences could be very far-reaching. Quite apart from the traffic bottlenecks that would be eliminated, if mammies are no longer allowed to drive right up to the school gates and quadruple-park at will while they drop their sprogs off, they may have to begin parking in a quieter place some distance away - perhaps even a few tens or hundreds of metres - and walk the little darlings to the school gates. This would go some way to encouraging exercise, thereby reducing the child obesity problem, and it would get some fat off the mammies arses as well.:D:D
