I remember when pay parking was being touted to Portarlington - it was in response to crime/vandalism levels and overcrowding - the IE stance was basically if you wanted a bigger & safer (cctv) car park you were going to have to pay for it.
People also asked about the possibility of adding the car park fare to your rail season ticket to make it cheaper, but with that level of complication the IE guy's eyes glazed over.
