Does legislation regarding CIE / IE differ in this regard to other private property? Given that they have the power to make bye-laws and prosecute people, they just might be within their rights when others aren't.

Improper parking could be prosecuted under the Housing Act, CIE / IE legislation and in the civil courts.

Of course if the car park has a gate, they are perfectly within their rights to lock it.

All of which has been very equivocable. To my knowledge it has never been challenged in court.
