    yesterday i attended a funeral in a leinster town, the traffic warden told a mourner that he doesn't issue fines to cars with expired discs during a funeral as he respects the local traditition of walking behind the hearse to the cemetry, i understand this was also to avoid traffic congestion between the church & cemetry, he specified "once there is a disc on the dash". we all followed this advice, when we returned to our cars i had a €40 fine, i'm not sure about the other mourners. we met the warden, he said i had only paid for 40 minutes parking & he only trned a blind eye to people who paid for 60 minutes parking he said to write to the co. council and generally they cancel the fine. is this for real, if he said nothing i would have driven to the cemetry as i had no intention of overstaying the parking disc, has this happened to anyone else, will the council do anything. i'm prepared to go to court as this is ridiculous, what thoughts are out there ?

    Hi there. I'm afraid that you're in the wrong forum, as this one is for people experiencing difficulties with the site, rather than for general queries such as your's. Now tbh, it's a bit of an odd one so I'm not really sure where it should go, however here's a few possible suggestions for you:

    Region - you could post in the appropriate county forum

    After Hours - for more general discussion on the topic

    Motors - for a discussion about parking fines and traffic wardens

    Ranting & Raving - if you want to vent

    Consumer Issues - if you feel you were ripped off

    Legal Discussion - should you actually end up in court

    Hope that helps :)
