Have to drive to Dublin for work tomorrow. Coming in from M1 and am heading towards Quays area - near the Four Courts and was wondering what's the most inexpensive way to make the journey? Basically looking somewhere with cheap parking and then accessible bus / Dart. Someone suggested parking at Killester Station then getting the Dart in. Is this the best option or does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks a million in advance.
Drive to the red cow and get the Luas in

Is there parking around there or should I just abandon the Yaris on the roundabout?

If I had a Yaris I'd abandon it anywhere in the hope it be stolen... ;)
Yes there is loads of parking in the Luas station...
btw its not really a "roundabout" anymore

MOT's fast approaching so it'd save me a fortune if somebody would steal it. With cable ties holding up the bumper and duct tape keeping the wing mirror on I don't think its the most attractive target though.
Are these the best directions to where you're talking about LL?

If you are going to the Red Cow remember to pay your M50 toll!
jazes. Pay your 2.90 per hour on street outside the Four Goldmines. The LUAS is slow and will be full of howyas in from Tallaght to do a bit of robbing shopping in Towen.
How long do you need to park for?
If you are coming in the M1 you won't need to be anywhere near the Red Cow.
If you are desperate to avoid paying parking you could turn right at Griffith Ave and take the second left. Park at the end of that street which is one of the few still free. Then turn left and walk the couple of hundred metres back to Drumcondra road and get the bus into town.
Otherwise pay parking close to 4 Courts. Ignore the Red Cow.

I'll be there all day! No way am I paying €20 for parking! Not paying 2 tolls either so I might revert to my Killester plan!

Feck that...head on down the m50 and park in the Red Cow Luas station..very cheap parking and its not that slow into town either.
Traffic is never too bad around there these days
Don't mind the howyais from Tallaght they are harmless
The more I think about it, the better a bus from Dundalk sounds. Though I hate to be intimidated out of driving places!
Parnell Centre car park is about 12 or 13 yoyo for 24 hours. 10 or 15 minute walk from there.
Where are you coming from? Why don't you just get a bus or a train?
I am in Dublin next weekend (28th & 29th), staying in an airbnb in tempe bar, looking somewhere to park from app 15:00 Saturday to 11:00 Monday, any recommendations?

Stephen's Green shopping centre. You'll have to walk down with the bags but car will be safe enough, and you can pre-book and pre-pay.
If you didn't mind leaving it on the street you could park near the general Merrion Square/Leeson Street area, there are some streets around there that don't have charges for parking at the weekend.
There's a perfectly good multistorey on Fleet Street in Temple Bar.
Are you coming from the north? Why not just take a train into Connolly and walk from there?
Had thought of train - times weren't perfect & there's 4 of us so better off driving.
Cheers for the advice all
Car park at Jurys Christchurch
If you have to pay for parking do you not come out ahead taking the train?

You wouldn't - about £20 worse off

And you'll likely be on the bus on those dates - engineering works 28th and 29th.
Father in law is running the Dublin marathon this weekend and we are thinking of heading down to meet him at the finish. Similar question as before... is there parking up near Merrion Sq or would we be best parking outside the city and getting the dart in? I expect the place will be jam packed because of the event. Any advice appreciated

You'll not get parked at Merrion Square for it. Depending on travel time, park at Clontarf (haven't been there in a couple of years but there was free weekend parking along the strand) and dart in probably your best option. Can be parked ten minutes after you come off the M1.
Clery's Q Park has always been my go to in Dublin. Straight road, handy in and out of (well, bar straight after game days).
Long time since anyone posted I this Thread.
Starting within the NCH at James Hospital after the lockdown - any advice for local parking would be great - ideally not pay parking
7/7.15 to 4pmish
thanks in advance.

The QParks are decent enough, I would leave the car at Cleary's (coming from the North) really for anywhere central in Dublin. Handy in and out. Bit of a walk down, nothing you'll notice on a decent day.
Does anyone know of a park and ride on the N4 near Dublin? Heading to Galway for a weekend and trying to arrange somewhere to meet my lift over. Somewhere to park Friday and Saturday, back again on Sunday

You could chance leaving it in Liffey Valley shopping centre. Parking is free and would probably be safe enough.
