    I fear the lads may have gotten a taste for crime now. No doubt they are going out the window of AIB with a few sackfulls of money! :pac:

    I reckon they're having a celebratory pint, either that or they're bumming each other in the back of the car

    It never would have started if people park properly and with consideration.

    Instead, what happens when parking is free is people arrive and dump their cars where it suits and use town/city centres etc as park and rides or the people working there take the spaces for the day meaning theres no parking for anyone else.



    Why? I know its not relly in peoples nature to think before they rabble as soon as the subject of clamping comes up but I'm sure theres a petrol station in or around Naas or a local shop on the OP's way where change could be gotten.

    Er....parking spaces are for parking in... I don't see your point. Why shouldn't someone be allowed to park their car if they work nearby or are using the town?? If people pay for parking then their reasons for parking are hardly any different!

    Parking in my town used to be free and isn't now. Ever. Even at weekends or night time. It is two euro per hour in most car parks here now. The clampers don't even give a minute's grace and the council are the same. The result? Business is being driven out of the town. Why pay as much for parking here when you could go shopping in Cork City instead for the same amount? The town is dead, businesses are struggling and it has created a lot of anger and resentment towards the council. In Midleton parking is free and it is really busy all the time.

    A sweet old lady I know who needed to rush to the doctor for an emergency prescription recently got clamped by a private company to the tune of 180 euro. She was only parked there for literally five min.

    Fair play to the OP and everyone else who don't take it lying down and have the guts to saw off the clamps themselves!

    I wish I could have been there! :(

    Great work lads!!

    If possible would it be possible to get a photo of handing the clamp back as if it was a big check, make it look like the clamper won the lotto or something. :D

    Removed, with no damage caused.

    Garda arrived, threatening to arrest everyone, and then after a bt of a chat all I heard was "What, but, eh, erm, ah lads now ye're gettin into Civil law"

    They were happy enough to go on their way on the proviso that the clampers get their clamp back.

    On that note, they didn't seem to interested. On the phone to them, I asked if they wanted to come down and collect it. Yer man just kept saying they'll contact the Garda, and if there is any damage there'll be legal proceedings etc etc etc....Fair enough says I. Still though, do you want to collect your clamp, I'd hate to leave it here unattended in case it gets stolen. Just kept saying he'd speak to the Gardai and that was that.

    Who said Tuesday evenings are dull!

    We don't know. There were a few passers by, including one old geezer who was very interested in what was going on.

    Either that or someone from NCPS drove by and spotted what was going on. Fairly hard to see it from the road though, and I kept a good eye out for any of their vans.

    Brilliant stuff.
    I still feel though that its a much better ending if you just take the clamp away, never to be seen again (assuming the guards didnt see ya of course) as that way, its actually costing the scumbags money and you dont have to worry about not damaging it either.
    Still, epic work.
