Parking Warden in Celbridge

Davidth88

Guys, I saw in the Liffey Champion the parking warden in Celbridge has been suspended pending investigation of a written complaint.

Was this a real complaint does someone know or was it someone just annoyed at getting a tkt.

I know he was a bit of a ' jobs worth ' but I think you have to be in that postion anyway.......

I hope someone doesn't lose their job because of a silly complaint ,but if it was a genuine issue then fair enough

It's probably just standard procedure.

In a lot of companies & organisations if a complaint is made about someone then that person is normally suspended on full pay until an investigation is carried out.

Yep, I think overall the system isn't working out too badly. 20c for 30 min, 50c for 1 hour on the main street isn't exactly breaking the bank.

I have heard that this chap does like to try and catch people out while they're paying at the machine, but that's all gossip and rumour I suppose.:D

There's a bit more truth in your supposition than you think!

My wife had a disc in her car in leixlip & still got a €40 ticket from the same company. Her word against his , as the discs are the scratch off type & not the machine ones with the time printed.:mad:

He's probably the most hated man in Leixlip if it's the one that constantly goes to every length to fine every car that's parked around the place. Really they'v lost the plot it was never about fining everyone it was just clearly up the congestion of cars parking all over the place in residential areas. It's gone out of hand at the moment.

parking in maynooth is crazy!

I drove around main st trying to get a spot - needed access to unload some gear - and it took 25 mins and lots of circling to find a spot close to main st!

WHen I did park, it was somewhere I shouldn't be!!

I would be in favour of pay parking in Maynooth (and Clane) asap!

There's not really any room for Main St parking in Maynooth anyway, so having to pay wouldn't make that much difference.
