Pensioner renting driveway to Dublin Airport passengers who can't find parking

A retired resident in north Dublin is making a few extra bucks from the shortage of parking at Dublin Airport by allowing people to park in her front driveway.

Lynda Lawlor has a large driveway at her Santry home and in 2019, when she was retiring, she decided to look into renting it out. While it wasn't as busy then due to Covid grinding flights to a halt, she expects business to pick up now, Dublin Live reports.

Holidaymakers can park in Lynda's drive for just €7.15 a day - or €50 a week which is half of what you would pay at the airport. Customers have the benefit of two nearby bus services, one of which goes all day and night.
