On-street parking in Dublin city is more expensive from today.
All zones will see an increase of 10 per cent on average, however, lower rates will apply for those using the parking tag app.
The most expensive "yellow zones" will rise from €3.20 an hour to €3.50.
Speaking about the increase, Dermot Stevenson, Parking Enforcement Officer with Dublin City Council, said;
"The hourly parking charges are being increased to ensure that there is a suitable deterrent to long stay parking in the city and to encourage a high turnover of users of these parking spaces. We also want to encourage sensible parking in the city as well as asking motorists to consider alternative transport methods other than the private car".
New Fees for Pay and Display Parking:
| Zone | Cash Rate | Parking Tag Rate |
| Yellow | €3.50 | €3.40 |
| Red | €3.00 | €2.90 |
| Green | €1.80 | €1.70 |
| White
Sun (14.00 – 18.00) |
€1.60 | €1.50 |
| Orange | €1.10 | €1.05 |
| Blue | €0.80 | €0.70 |
Meanwhile fines for parking on footpaths, cycle tracks and bus lanes double from today.
The penalty is increasing from €40 to €80.
Announcing the move last month, Transport Minister Eamon Ryan said it would encourage a more considerate use of road space and promote active travel.
