Question for those in Dublin...is their parking available at Heuston Station? I'm thinking of parking there for trip to Dalymount on Friday. Also, anyone know how much a taxi should cost(roughly) from Dalymount Park(Phibsboro) to Heuston Station on a Friday night?
There is a car park there, which you have to pay to use.
It isn't that far from Dalymount so I'd say €10 at the very most.
Car park open late like? Cost much?Quote:

Best private carpark for Dalyer is the multi-story by the cinema on Parnell St. Quick 10 min walk up to the ground and open 24 hours.
I'd imagine it would be open a bit after the last trains arrive so it would close at midnight at the earliest.Quote:

I'm looking at images of it on Google earth, is that the big long road leading up to it?Quote:

You can't park along the road side at all?:oQuote:

Park at the phibsboro shopping center right behind the tramway end
Ah come on Sligoman, you'll drive the whole way from Sligo but won't drive a couple of miles across the city?
If you're going to park up, have you looked at the Arrow to and from Maynooth. No idea on the parking situation there, but it'd be on the N4 and would get you as far as Drumcondra or Connolly...
Liffey Valley is miles from Dalymount. Looking at least €30 for taxi. (or 78a into town and then one of the buses into Phibsboro)
Far better to park somewhere closer to the ground. If you're coming up for the day I'd park in Phibsboro shopping centre
If you can get as far as heuston, you can get to Dalymount - Coming in the N4, swing left around the station, cross the bridge keep left, then into the right hand filter, right up Infirmary Rd. up to the top where you'll see the gates of the park on your left, turn right onto the North Circular Road and continue straight (for about 1.5 miles) until you see the floodlights of Dalymount into your left. There's parking in the shopping centre which is free, Peter's Road (pay parking until 6.30, then free), or in any number of side roads, mostly free. Traffic is heavy in Phibsboro' at rush hour, but less so this week with no schools.
There should be no problems parking close to the ground. Just take usual precautions like not leaving stuff in plain sight for thieves. I wouldn't think twice about parking near the ground as its as safe as anywhere in Dublin.Quote:

I presume that 20 minutes walking should get the last of the Connor inspired invective out of the system, making the N4 a safer road to drive on on that night than might otherwise be the case;)
Learner Driver I hope your not going to use the M4 to get up to dublin !!! only joking
I'd park up around Daly somewhere sonofstan is spot on.
Probably too late for Sligoman - even now on his white knuckle ride through the metrolops - but its like a sunday around here; no traffic, no problems finding a parking place. When did Good Friday become a holiday?
