Frustrated Liffey Valley staff are set to stage a peaceful protest on Sunday outside the shopping centre ahead of new pay parking being introduced for the first time.
The shopping centre has recently undergone a €30m transformation of its car park, which included increasing disability spaces by 14%, parent and child spaces by 46%, and creating 20 electric vehicle charging points. From Monday, October 17, a "comprehensive parking guidance system" will launch at Liffey Valley, which will display real-time data on approach roads and within the car parks to direct customers to the nearest available bay.
Following a meeting earlier this week, staff at Liffey Valley are to stage a protest this Sunday October 16, meeting at 12 o'clock outside Cosmos. The organisers of the protest have told Dublin Live that the peaceful demonstration is taking place from 12-4pm because "staff are very worried about paying €600 a year on parking with no guarantee of getting a parking space."
