Wouldnt park in a disabled space, but would happily block the entry/exit route from the store to the car park

Within feet of each other. Taxi driver was sitting in car awkwardly parked on hatching on the inside of a tight-ish, blind-ish corner making it a little bit more of each despite a multitude of spaces being available just next to him.

Getting a bit out of line at Dunnes Ballyvolane

Unable to fit your tiny car inside one oversized disabled space - no bother, take two instead. To be fair, they did at least have a badge displayed 🙄
Bronze CW-reg Kia 2 rows back and the red Insignia to the right also weren't quite able to get it 100% correct

Not the worst offender ever, but a good 3 feet from the bumper to the kerb.

Return to the test centre please.

Lovely day out, don’t mind me parking in a disabled bay so me * my misses can have a fag outside the car… Definitely did not have a badge or someone with a disability, hidden or not…

At the Forty Foot, because leaving the disabled parking bay clear would have been just too hard.

Cant decide which one suits best?
Do this:

This took a lot of manoeuvring. It came along by my car just after I had parked, drove into the row in front of the one I was in, and there it is.
I am not sure what they were aiming for but it definitely was not to get between the white lines. 😂

Got a critical business meeting in Lidl? No spaces provided outside the door for a person as important as you?
Park on a junction, nobody’s using it on a Sunday, bonus points if you can combine this with parking on a pedestrian crossing.

Le sigh.

Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.
