I am glad to have the opportunity to raise it. In my case, I was going to the cinema in Parnell Street. I parked on Parnell Street, having looked at the signs which indicated that free parking was allowed after 8 p.m., in other words that the parking fees were suspended at 8 p.m. When I came back to my car later that night after the movie, I was amazed to discover I was clamped. While I went through the process, as the Minister did, I was curious as the sign indicated that parking fees were suspended at 8 p.m. However, I was told that lasted only for half an hour and that from 8.30 p.m. onwards parking was prohibited. That happened to me again in Parnell Street. I confess I was at fault, purely through ignorance, as I was running late. I do not go back to Cineworld any more unless I take public transport.
