    Balbriggan charge €2 to drive in and I think its €1 for foot passengers! They do have a sign on the gate that says they given a donation to some old folks place in Balbriggan. Don't know how true that is seeing as they also have a sign saying 'no counterfeit dvds or cigarette sales allowed' and they're blatently selling them just inside the gate! :eek:

    The one in Wexford is surviving. Tho I think they call it a car park fee. In spite of the fact theres nowhere else to park if you want to go to the cbs. They tried to charge a friend the same fee to walk in (he was on a bike). He told them where they could stick it. :)

    The indoor market in Wexford tried charging when they started, but I dont think they do now.

    they won't last long, the Gardai will sort that out, that's why the Blackhorse Market in Inchicore was shut down, guys selling pirate dvds, r4 cards, etc

    youde be surprised how long they could get away with it

    i was down meath st markets a couple of weeks ago on a sunday and they have a few massive stalls selling fake nike airmax for €40 euro a pair and fake nike tracksuits for €25 i think

    not small stalls either ,the guy with the airmax shoes has loads of stock sitting around (wider range of styles and colurs than lifestyle and jjb)
