State’s largest car clamping firm goes into the red

[James Howard]

Interesting that shooting fish in a barrel isn't proving profitable for NCPS. Hopefully this doesn't lead to further increases in the price of parking which is already a serious disincentive for day trippers.

It can't possibly be economic to police parking at the more rural locations. Checking Enfield, Mullingar, Edgeworthstown and Longford must take about 4 hours and involve driving a van 150 miles or so. Then a declamp will take roughly the same amount of effort so if they clamp one person on the route, they will end up taking a loss on the fee.
