    Why are shopping centre car parks so badly planned. You drive in and cannot find the way out. The one I hate most is Airside. Every row is marked 'exit', so you follow the arrows and meet a dead end. You have to watch where the cars are coming in to find the actual road.Don't get me started on Donaghmede Shopping Centre. Drives me crazy!

    Couldn't agree more, scratched my car there the day i bought it.
    It's way too tight.

    I hate the car park in St Stephen's green shopping centre as well

    Every row isn't marked 'EXIT' but I agree it is a bit confusing. They should have a large overhead gantry type sign over the actual exits.

    Car park A in Dublin Airport is very tight especially for the more generously proportioned cars! :D

    Off the top of my head, that one in Werburgh St, the multi storey is very tight to get around in. I must vote the Parnell st park as one of the better ones, easy to get around and less chance of collision.

    Another is that new one in charlestown, finglas. The underground one is fine but the ground level one is very dangerous when doing turns, wouldn't surprise me if there are daily hits and near misses there!

    The most annoying one is the dundrum centre one(underground), your tyres and everyone elses skid on that surface!

    Donaghmede has to be the worst carpark I've come across.

    Last Saturday afternoon I was parked on the 3rd level of the multi-storey carpark in the Blanch centre. I spent 50 minutes getting out of the carpark.

    The car park in Setanta Place, Molesworth Street is like a rats maze.
    One of the most bizarre and ill-designed car parks I've ever been in.

    It's more like a office buildings own car park than a public car park.

    I'd forgotton about that one. It's a dump alright! :(

    School House Lane is a better option if you're in that area. It's a bit cramped but clean, well lit and staffed.

    The M50 isn't a car park.

    You can leave a car park...
