Parking restrictions enforced around Croker

[cornafean]

One of the weekend newspapers (possibly the Indo) reported that local authorities are LOSING money on their vehicle clamping operations as not enough cars are being clamped to justify the cost of the "service". Hence there is zero chance of the clampers laying off anytime soon.

Sadly, the politicians and local government officials who are responsible for car clamping policies will be the last people to suffer from their implementation, or from the damage they are doing to local economies and businesses.

The 2km parking ban around Croker has been shelved

No to Croke Park no park

Plans to set up a 2km parking ban around Croke Park on match days have been rejected. Dublin City councillors voted against the proposal yesterday after a study found the scheme would cost €200,000 to set up and €84,000 a year to run.

Finally some common sense. Will this mean the end of the clampers or will they now be out in force?

Park where ever you like

My god, sense prevails at local govt level    Good to hear it

Where did you hear that Archie?

Does that mean they're gonna change all the signs again then. I'd say the local residents aren't too pleased.
I thought they should run good Park & Ride services.
