    In the Black Box? Always do. €4 for the whole day. Sometimes someone will give you a ticket to use on their way out.

    Yeah I know handy like that.. is there ever clampers down there I park there 5 days a week and pay and display yet many don't.. I have never seen a car clamped.. a bit infuriating good honest people paying day in day out yet people taking the proverbial.

    Don't know about the Dyke but I believe the Galway Shopping Centre car park is not patrolled every day of the week. Wish I knew which day(s). I have never seen a car clamped there but regularly see them clamped opposite in Woodies.

    The council don't clamp on this car park. A warden patrols it and issues fixed penalty notices.

    As an aside, the council don't clamp anywhere now, they just issue tickets. I recently learned that they don't issue actual tickets anymore though - the first the offender hears about it is when they receive a fixed penalty notice in the post. I don't know why the Council decided to go down this route as, if nothing else, seeing a physical ticket is a visible deterrent to other would-be offenders. It also reassures those who have paid for their parking that those who haven't are being penalised.

    So, OP, if it makes you feel any better,it's entirely possible that the cars you see without paid parking discs have in fact received tickets.

    In the Cathedral car park, which also has a full-day rate, lots of people gift their full-day tickets to others who are arriving as they're leaving, but you can't depend on it. I don't know if it also happens in the Dyke Road car park, but I presume it does.
