I walked past the Courthouse today. There were twelve cars parked on the footpath around the entrance steps. There are no breaks or ramps in the footpath, so clearly this was never intended as a parking area. It is a footpath after all. There were various Garda no parking cones scattered about. Presumably these are used to hold the spaces for specific people who are working in the Courthouse. It looks like normal parking and footpath safety laws are being flagrantly broken with the co-operation of the Gardai. Furthermore this free parking is an untaxed perk. This is a blatant show of contempt for the public who are paying these peoples wages.
