    Are you familiar with the payment system also ? Just so you know, you park first - note the number on the space you parked in before heading to the luas stop. The parking machine is at the luas stop and you have to enter the car space number in which you parked - put in the wrong one, and you're paying for someone else's space. No need to return to the car (ie you don't need to display the ticket on the dash). Seperate ticket required for the luas journey, of course.

    Didn't know that ;)

    Why do they print a ticket If you don't need to display?

    Tangible proof I imagine, just like the Luas ticket. I assume the parking enforcers can look up on a mobile device/printout and check which bays have been paid up.

    And as a reminder as to the space number you are parked in for when you return.

    Yeah, it can be quite confusing at the moment as the temporary lanes have shifted a few times in recent weeks... I tried to give directions to some lost Italians trying to find the Ibis Hotel at the Red Cow. They were doing circles around Citywest Business Campus :o Hard to explain because of the roadworks and they had very little English.

    Basically, stay left and you go across the overhead bridge before the Red Cow interchange to get to the other side of the N7... Should be fine...
