    There is no such place.

    I have parked near the Kilkenny Centre on Nassau Street and also on Molesworth Street and South Frederick Street. Or you could just take a chance on Merrion Square. But it's all a matter of luck. There's also the car park (Setanta I think it is called) but I don't know if they do a night rate.

    You can park along Pearse Street for free from 19.00hrs. I have done it a few times with no problems to report.

    Why the need to be nasty to someone who is looking for help and just made a very minor error?

    *shakes head*

    It is obvious to most of us that the OP was referring to Pearse Station (which is beside Pearse Street).

    and anway they're both named after Padraig Pearse!

    What is it with people getting ratty about calling it Pearse Street Station?
    It's always obvious what people are talking about!

    I wasn't being childish.

    I wasn't being nasty.

    I was simply pointing out there was no such place. I was correct.

    Hopefully the OP will be better for it. If either of you have an issue with my comments, bring it to feedback.

    I hope that helps.

    No, it isn't.
    It's named after Patrick and William Pearse. Both brothers, not just one.
    If you look at the Irish name Stáisiún na bPiarsach, you can see that is plural.

    And if I realy wanted to be childish, I'd point out Patrick Pearse never mixed up Irish and English versions of his name.
    So Patrick Pearse, P H Pearse or Pádraig Mac Piarais are all correct.
    Padraig Pearse is not correct but it's so commonly used it's accepted by most

    no, just pointlessly pedantic
