It's not what one expected but obviously I should have one for the odd (but often lucrative) Ireland by Taxi job I cover for Roy.

I'm not sure Kealys, the hotels or ALSAA members will be happy as it seems they're not allowed order taxis to their premises anymore but I don't cover any of that work or join virtual queues so those aspects don't impact on my trade.

I guess we'll have to examine the small print to determine if we (or those of us who become permit holders) are allowed patronise Circle K and/or McDonald's. If we are I don't see how enforcement officers can determine whether or not a permit holder is on a virtual queue. They may need to just ban all SPSVs from the entire campus unless there for the purpose of conducting business i.e. picking up or dropping off in accordance with permits held.

Do ewes reckon Free Now will still buy all the advertising they have inside the terminals?

[mercenary for hire]

I dunno what they're thinking except to move the virtual rank further away from the airport irritating shoppers in airside and the workers in the industrial estates on the airport road.

The fact that you still need to pay for parking means they're trying to get us to buy a permit so that they can threaten to remove from us.I'm happy enough to rob when I get out there but it's not my favourite place in the city to work anyway.

Sure they can't even enforce the regulations they have already.The last time they sent me a ticket I put it in the green bin and never heard anything again.

[Rat Catcher]

Fair play to you for using the green bin. DAAs loss is the planet's gain.

Do they have the authority to search vehicles and/or persons for concealed clever telephones and/or do they even have the authority to access personal telephonic devices? ... and/or does becoming a permit holder give them consent (if required) to conduct such searches?

How much does the standard car park charge John m ?

I know I had to pay €3 to get out of zone 18 after collecting my Mother from DAP last August, I didn't mind as I was adding it on to her bill anyway, she was already getting the 'Family 10% discount' (but with PUC) and no way was I picking up any of her car-park or Toll charges !

At a Tenner a year it would be folly not to have one if doing even the occasional 'Roy' job.

You need the permit for all car parks as per link in the OP.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

The original permit was £10 back in the day if you weren`t a Fed member .

[Rat Catcher]

I didn't know that... but I was with Blue Cabs for much of that (pre-entry liberalisation) period so Fed membership was included in freight. That's when we had the barrier controlled reserved area (that's now exclusively for blue badges) on the ground floor of the T1 (there was only one terminal in those days) short term car park and we didn't have to pay for parking (officially up to 1 hour). After the great strike of 2000 they moved us to the rooftop and shortly (or some time?) afterwards made us pay for parking!

Oh, I had a kesh permit back then as well so that probably covered the pre-booked regime too?

Yep, all the radio cos. with the exception of Metro and then Airport Express were Fed aligned . If you were a non conformist radical, you simply went to the Airport Polis office , showed your docs and paid a tenner for kesh permit.
