The rules on shopping centre car parking vary from centre to centre, most of them seem to charge whether you buy anything or not.

It depends on the station. I'm told its a problem in Kildare and other places. It seems very unfair not to specifically address this issue now. As we have pointed out the charge won't have any impact on this as it will be significantly less than the local authorities charge.
Point is quite simple, car park is for rail passengers. You could setup a exit barrier to take train tickets, if you have no ticket you pay say €5. Of course if you travelled ticketless you get caught with the charge which seems fair, for most greater Dublin region the €5 would still be less than a single ticket
