    Do you have to pay for parking down down there at weekends?

    Parking for Clonsilla is on road, not in a car park (Coolmine is the one in the area for that), so not sure that Irish Rail policies are the influence/determining factor there

    Ya, they definitely have pay and display for the road side parking but don't know if it's just peak time

    Irish rail have nothing to do with the parking near the station in Clonsilla.

    If you are referred to the designated parking spaces that are on the road that runs parallel to the platform, I can confirm as a resident of the area that parking tickets are required Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm only. Outside these hours and weekends are free. It's 2 euro per day Mon to Fri but I believe there are cheaper online options if you register with some sites.

    Be warned that parking inside Portersgate estate next to the station offers 3 hour max tickets only. Parking is free on Clonsilla link road just up by Applegreen garage but those spaces are always gone by 8am.

    Last summer I used the service from Clonsilla quite a lot. I never looked for any signs and assumed it was just free parking, I parked there at least 10 times from morning till evening and nothing ever happened. I only found out it was pay and display from a friend when I was discussing the station with them.

    Rail services are dear enough I think it's some cheek to expect people to pay to leave a car by the station. I certainly don't, no security or anything provided, paying for nothing basically.

    I think the idea of paying is to discourage parking.

    Instead of building parking when there was space to do it they decide to sell the land to developers for housing.

    Great planning.

    The cost of the train has nothing to do with the parking there.
