Get a 35mm film case. Anytime you get a €1 or €2 coin in change, put it in that. Its less wearing on your pocket or wallet than loose coins.

Who uses 35mm film anymore?

Tis good advice, used to use that approach to bringing coin through airport security when I didn't have a jacket with me.

Other payment options are in the pipeline I'm told

Pay and display in Athy from next Monday 10th. Car park is still a potholed, gravel and shattered-glass filled yard. I think only about ten or twelve spaces are actually marked out - the rest is just open space. If they painted a few lines they could increase capacity by 30-40% by forcing people to tidy up their parking, but I guess money grabbing is easier. Only saw two ticket machines so I expect there will be queues at them given how many arrive in the last five minutes before each of the two trains.

just passed coolmine and the car park is packed! Obviously to do with the rugby at croke park. A nice little sum for the operators!

I noticed in Maynooth that if you place a IR high Viz jacket on your steering wheel that you don't have to pay for parking.

This is outside the normal staff parking spots.
