Playing devil's advocate here, in relation to the parking, most park-and-ride schemes are paid for (Red Cow Luas?), a company will always give the reason of the cost involved in security patrolling a car park/barriers etc. Doesn't the Heuston car park have to be paid for?
Realistically, a fare increase would be sought if IE couldn't get people to pay for parking and that hits the people that don't have cars/get taxis etc.
Also I'm guessing if IE is already having pilot schemes elsewhere, it will make the protesting by other stations against paying a lot tougher.
Apologies if my note suggested Port agreed, as Stephen said, they didn't but the question was raised that if there was a paid car park could it be incorporated into their ticket. Most people were against any extra charge but I guess some people just want their car to be safer even if it will cost money.
