    So, where is the best place to park around the courthouse if you've been called for jury service?
    Is there a free parking facility?
    Is there free parking nearby?

    I doubt that they'd allow you park there for the first day of the sessions.
    There could be 60/80 or more people called for selection - add in Guards, Prison Vans, Solicitors, Defendants and Injured Parties/Witnesses and the carpark there starts to get very small!!!
    If you are selected, then once the sessions proper get under way you might possibly be ok but I wouldn't try it the first day. You could end up driving around for ages looking for a space as the whole area will probably be busy.

    Millers Marsh (the big one beside Storm Cinema), within easy walking distance, would cost €3.60 for the whole day. Others charge per hour, with council/street parking tending to have a 2 hour limit.

    The underground carpark, near storm cinema, is only €2.50 for the day.

    Probably because they won't leave all of the aforementioned people park there!!! :)

    They dont do anything in the way of permits for people on jury service but if you do get a ticket they tell you to bring it in to the guard on duty in the court house straightaway and he will get it quashed because you were on jury duty . There is definitely no parking in the grounds of the courthouse itself on jury selection days ,they will have a bloke on the gate directing people to nearby parking .

    I was called for the Jury a few months ago(wasn't selected) and had no trouble parking in the courthouse. Had to go along about 5 or 6 times over the space of two weeks and each time I was let in with no bother. Just get there early, as others have said it's a small enough car park.
