I got a BOLT job from Z18 as I was on my way back in from Swords last night. I drove up to the barrier took my ticket, picked up the punter and off we went.
I imagine they use plate recognition to identify permit holders.
P.S. The passenger was gobsmacked (in Portuguese), that we get charged €1.50 to enter the pick-up point and were gone in a minute.
I tried to explain 'Gouging' Irish style, alas his English wasn't the Mae West.
You should have told him about this to really drive the point home.

The cliffs were free back in the 90s. The brother was working for Paddy Doherty in The Spa Hotel in Lisdoonvarna.
Afterward, we'd drive up to the cliffs and smoke a doob.
Not a soul around.
is it not free if say you walked there?
I dropped tourists there last summer, we were in the car park and it said something like 14 euro euro per adult, there was 4 of us, so I drove out dropped them to the cliffs entrance and I headed to Doolin to get something to eat, collected them 2 hours later, they told me they didnt have to pay anything. is it not just the car park you have to pay for?
when I saw that headline last summer, that they were charging people to see the sunset, I honestly thought it was just some local chancer who was doing it, not the county council, we should be ashamed of that as a nation, its a disgrace. not a good move for tourism as well.
I was telling ye how the taxis in Barcelona were trying to rip me off and the shop and bar owners etc that kind of thing puts people off visiting a country.
