It might be because they trapped in their driveways for a few hours when there is a match on. Because people park so badly. Maybe...
I don't think so. If somebody's driveway is blocked there is a tow away service available through the Gardaí and generally the amount of parking is nothing like Croke Park, Aviva etc.
I reckon it is just a case of "Why should I make life easier for somebody going to the match . . ." Coincidentally, that's the way we drive too, bursting red lights, occupying yellow boxes etc.
...
Are there not better ways to deal with the problems you may incur, than by creating further problems ?
If there's an issue with speeding cars, surely getting a few speed ramps installed is the solution, or maybe asking the Gardai to set up occasional speed traps there to catch and penalise the offenders ?
People parking commercial vehicles, or cars "for weeks" is something you need to deal with, just like I've got to find a way to solve my issue with houses that are rented out having multiple cars parked on the road and creating problems....
but you blocking the road with your car only causes problems for others (not to mention increases the risk of your car being damaged (by kids or other road users) or worse still.. stolen).
As for visitors, surely they can park on the road if your not parked there already and as they are only occasional, rather than permanent residents like yourself, they are causing a lesser obstruction to others who have to
use the same road ?
Yes certainly. We've already got ramps, narrowing and Speed Measuring Signs on the main distributor road. But perhaps we need to increase the density of the Ramps at the entrance to smaller roads and perhaps on the smaller roads themselves. The place is ruined with ramps. But as there is no enforcement. Seems people will continue not to slow down where appropriate. Gardai response to issues is poor. There is an ongoing contact with Gardai about local issues though various committees....
. . . . we pay road tax and we are entitled to park your car park in public places.....
Can we apply the same reasoning to insist that cyclists have to pay an annual road tax ?
... obviously there's also plenty of other logical supports, such as their use of the road (getting customised cycle lanes painted or constructed), use of road signals etc.

Lots of things that are legal are also unmannerly.Purple, you're losing it again . . . . we pay road tax and we are entitled to park your car park in public places where parking is allowed. And then you want us not buying a car until we can prove we have some place to park it.
You're right on one matter though "Irish people are not what they used to be." Some of us have descended into a nation of whingers just for whinging sake.
It's the insidious influence of bloody Cork socialists...Purple, you're softening . . . how can doing something within our laws be bad manners?

My apologies Firefly, I was referring to Leper.I've been called many things in my time, but a socialist?? There's no call for that
My apologies Firefly, I was referring to Leper.
Did this ever get resolved. I have a similar issue. My neighbour has his friend from God knows where park his car outside in my spot. It has not moved and it's tax is expired since Dec 2018. Any help appreciated.
