Car Parking

Mark Gleeson · 19-01-2011, 10:47

The nice people in NCPS have no problem coming out to clamp people, call the number and wait for an operator (last option in menu)

After all if there is an inconsiderate passenger parking as to obstruct, the car can be quite correctly clamped regardless of paying. You can be sure they won't do that again

Does clamping not just leave the obstruction there longer? Do they have towing facilities?

Thats the problem but its the only way to educate some people.

In the case I mentioned it's the free car park down the road from Mullingar train station so NCP couldnt do anything.

I don't think anyone other than the guards are allowed tow anyone away, with the exception of the RPA and Veolia on Luas property.

City and County councils can, but an Irish Rail car park wouldn't be part of their jurisdiction.

What about moving to a different part of the car park and clamping it?

I don't think they can even move it, or if they did and damaged it they'd be liable.

Same 02 renault parked outside the spaces yesterday in the free car park but at least this time there was plenty of room for people properly parked to get by. He / she are not the only ones doing it of course.

The car park at Mullingar Station itself has been given a big facelift with proper spaces marked out. More effective use of space on the left hand side on the way in and a one way system has been introduced.

At the risk of doing an Andy Gray I have to say I've seen at least 4 drivers exiting via the entry gate so far and they were all women
