Customers have hit out at Liffey Valley’s new parking system for allegedly making cash payments inaccessible.
The charges, which came into effect last week, are the first parking fees to be introduced in the shopping centre’s 24-year history. And a recent Facebook post highlighted that customers were struggling to pay the new parking fee if they wanted to use cash.
The author said they were told at the customer service desk that they would need to purchase a €10 gift card in order to pay for the charge. The customer complained: “I entered my car reg into the new pay machines and my total came to €2.50. I was told by car parking attendants to get a gift card from customer service if I wanted to pay with cash.”
