Madam, – Regarding Kate Holmquist’s reference to “extortionate” prices for car parking in the city centre (Features, November 3rd), I beg to differ.

The current rate for car parking in the Arnotts car park, off O’Connell Street, is €2 for three hours upon presentation of a receipt from Arnotts or Arnotts Project. The rate is €2.80 for every hour thereafter and there is no “end-date” for this tariff. I feel this is a competitive and fair price, not “extortionate”. We are also working closely with the Dublin City Business Association to welcome and encourage customers to shop in the heart of Dublin. – Yours, etc,

DAVID RIDDIFORD CEO,
