The one thing I will say is that the car park which I am most familiar with, Donabate Northbound, has some of the worst parking I have ever seen.
I have seen people drive into other cars twice while trying to manoeuvre out of the gate. The width of the gate is reduced to the size of one car parking space and there is usually someone parked perpendicular to it up the middle of the carpark.
The access road has cars parked all along the footpath and the side of the road with no footpath has double yellow lines which are ignored daily.
It is not uncommon to see people take up more than one space through careless parking over the white lines.
At least if pay and display parking were to be bought in, the fees would pay for the cost of sending clampers out to make sure people park properly.
Am I right in thinking that it is wrong to expect resources be put into patrolling car parks for bad parking where there is no revenue coming in from them?
