    I wouldn't personally. I don't think overnight parking is allowed in the front car park - don't know about the back.

    I've seen cars do it, make sure you have a ticket. There's a massive car park up by Tesco that might be safer for overnight parking though.

    Yeh, tesco carp park, technically you probably have to be a customer to park there for free but the car park is so huge I couldn't ever see someone clamping you. Plus tesco is 24 hours so there's always people around. They clamp fairly regularly at Maynooth so make sure you have a ticket like others said.

    Parking overnight is allowed once you've a ticket. Park near the station building itself and definitely NOT towards the back if you're going to do it.

    Done it a few times, not had a problem to date.

    I would park in one of the nearby housing estates instead.

    Thanks for the replies folks. If my night in Dublin goes ahead as planned I'll take my chances and pay the ticket.
