Liffey Valley staff stage protest over introduction of paid parking

Liffey Valley staff gathered outside the shopping centre this afternoon to protest the new paid parking system being introduced on Monday.

Part of the car park will be designated for employees, with charges of €2.50 per day, working out at approximately approximately €600 per year for staff who work fulltime. However staff fear there is no guarantee that they will get a parking space in this designated area and will be forced to park in the customer area and pay up to €12.50 per day.

Dozens of employees gathered outside the shopping centre this afternoon and called for the staff parking charges to be scrapped. Workers marched around chanting "no way, we won't pay".
