Whats the story with CIRCLE K at the Airport - I received a parking fine €40 in the post today for "parking on double yellow lines at CIRCLE K". Happened 16/5 at 5.30pm - very angry female garda moved all taxis out of CIRCLE K and Mcdonalds even those in parking spots, and issued tickets to those who were not in parking spots! Surely tickets can't be issued on Garage property? I checked with CIRCLE K Manager and he said they didn't request Guards and didn't want Taxis moved.....I had just dropped about €80 there for diesel and food and was eating when she came along...... is it possible to fight this?

They can do wat they like in the airport ....
You'll just be deemed a "security threat" or sumtin ide imagine ....
They even clamped an ambulance once I'm told ..... ::fds
You cud go to a solicitor but yu be trown more money away

Contact Fingal County Council and see if they have taken that stretch of Road In Hand .Most of the Airport is not Public Property just like Dublin Port and the Road traffic act does not apply .It is possible the Garage address is on the old road and there may be a right of way through the Garage that would explain why taxis are not moved on .If it is a Public Road then you broke the law by parking on double yellows.
-
They probably don't care about the yellow lines but instead want to encourage you to buy a permit from the DAA.Pay the fine and forget about it.Next time park somewhere else.

Says here yu can appeal fines ...
The double yellow tho be difficult to get over......if a double yellow is in place in the airport yu can bet its legit

Plying for hire !
-
News that drivers may be charged to drop-off or collect passengers from Dublin Airport has been met with anger after An Bord Pleanála upheld Fingal County Council's decision to grant permission for the relevant infrastructure..DAA probably only control the Drop off and pick up points access roads could be Fingal County Council if so pay the fine 80 euro ilegal parking if it was plying for hire it would be 250 ?
-
Having had dealings with that wagon of a ban garda,my advice would be to absolutely leg it out of Circle K or McD's if there is a Garda car anywhere around.
I got a letter threatening that if I was found on Airport property ever again,I would lose my license.
And now I'm a keshie!

They (Gards not nearly Gards) were moving drivers off terminal 1 today who had literally just got back in their car after unloading,defo something going on there.

(15) leaving a vehicle at an airport longer than is reasonably necessary for
the transaction of the business for the purpose for which it was brought there
or parking or leaving a vehicle in a manner, at a location or at a time other than
as permitted by or determined from time to time by the airport authority;

Airport car parks are fully booked for the weekend so presumably the airport is too. Gonna be lots of private cars dropping off/collecting and just blocking the terminals while they wait. If they tell the private cars to move, they could reasonably ask "where to?"
We're easy targets. Haven't been to T1 for awhile but T2 is a disaster with cars just parked waiting.
-
Can't understand why they let private cars park on both T1 and T2 and creating the chaos that is does.....but when both arrivals are overrun this summer with fukall taxis to shift passengers....there won't be a security person to be seen or fines issued.
-
Thers loads blokes in taxis sittin at arrivals lately .....wats that all about ?
Are they plyin gor hire or booked ?
I taut yu cudny sit at arrivals or yu be fined ...maybe the pigs are reacting to that trend ?

If the airport is really that busy then having a Kesh pass would seem worthwhile.
-
9.30 this morning,60 in Fn queue,got in and out of the Kesh in 5 minutes
11.45 75 in Fn queue,I'm at t1 in 16 minutes.(75 would be near 90 minutes)
-
@Van you might notice nobody in the Kesh ever posts anything about the Kesh on here .What occurs in the Kesh stays in the Kesh .

It must be quite a surreal experience to be an arriving passenger at T2. As you exit the airport building, you see an almost empty bus parking area and 20 taxis obviously parked up in the 'set down only' area. But you ignore them and follow the signs to the taxi rank.
As you wait to cross the road, you see dozens of empty taxis drive by you towards the exit. You also notice another 30 or 40 taxis parked up in Area 18. But you ignore them and finally arrive at the taxi rank to see about 50 people in front of you.
You're confused for a moment but then 3 or 4 taxis pop up over the horizon and dash towards the rank. Then nothing for a another few minutes until another 3 or 4 taxis pop up over the horizon. Then despair overtakes you as you tap the person in front of you in the queue and ask, 'This IS Ireland, right? A first world country?"

The agony is multiplied x 10 in the pi$$ings of rain when the kids start bawling watching all the empty cars driving away.

Lucky enough to get a few fares to T1 and T2 today. Wasn't too bad - still had to double park at T2. There were a few police at T1 (not sure if real or pretend) but they were hassling a private car and were about to start looking at his tyre threads... However, there were big queues to get out of the airport. I wonder if they've changed the traffic light sequences or something?
-
T2 was a fukin mess earlier....they need to hassle the private cars parking there....I mean how much did it cost to get "Drop Off Only" painted in those spots...cudda saved a fortune!!

Its the poor keeping the poor down o behalf of the rich:
The Rooster Coop
The Rooster Coop is Balram’s metaphor for describing the oppression of India’s poor. Roosters in a coop at the market watch one another slaughtered one by one, but are unable or unwilling to rebel and break out of the coop. Similarly, India’s poor people see one another crushed by the wealthy and powerful, defeated by the staggering inequality of Indian society, but are unable to escape the same fate. In fact, he argues that the poor actively stop each other from escaping, either willfully by cutting each other down, or less purposely but just as powerfully, through a culture that makes them expect such abuse and servitude. The Rooster Coop Balram describes is one that’s “guarded from the inside.”

Most likely the problem was the DAA inviting the taxi reps to have a say in the taxi service at the airport.

I was in that DAP Circle K this morning at 6am of a bank holiday monday fer diesel.
It's easy enough to see why the management would be pissed off !

"I checked with CIRCLE K Manager and he said they didn't request Guards and didn't want Taxis moved"
Management weren't pissed off. Gardai, DAA, or possibly even The Kesh?
-
I dunno Harry, when I was there I saw about a dozen Taxies hanging about and only about 3 actual customers,
and that was at 6am on a bank holiday.

Fuck sake Ken you dont know what the story is .There are no Customers there its a Coral for the Airport where taxis wait before they go up to pick up a booking or try to save the coin you paid for area 18 .Between the Garage and Mc Donalds expect 40 or 50 cars to be waiting .Some days you cannot get to the Fuel pumps because some prick has decided to park beside them and go for a piss or a coffee to waste time before they get an airport job .

Yea ! I kinda guessed that all by myself !

They could do with some more EV charging points near the airport, the two they have at Circle K always have cars in them.

Heavily frequented by taxidrivers, similar to anecdotal reports about the Kesh toilets? Still no excuse for not cleaning.

I lost my DAP permit for having a whizz in the wash bay. Still, on the upside, I'm not riddled with E.Coli as a result of using the taxi toilets.
