Sir, – Recently I returned approximately 15 minutes late to my legally parked vehicle to find that the clampers had got there before me.
In Dublin, the footpath outside Garda HQ in Harcourt Street is clogged with parked cars, there is a permanent taxi rank on the double-yellow lines outside a pub in Ballsbridge, the cycle paths in Ranelagh are a joke, the cycle path at Booterstown is usually blocked by parked cars, and outside the bicycle shop, of all places! Perhaps your readers can enlighten me as to where I can get the special dispensation that enables one to park with impunity throughout the city. – Yours, etc,
TED MOONEY,
Dublin 6.
