    Default Rip off Ireland.

    Dublin airport has got permission to toll drivers dropping off and picking up passengers at the airport.
    They should be giving a free coffee and sandwich, driver reviver instead.
    A round trip to the airport is normally a four to five hour round trip for me, now in future there want to charge me for the experience. It's as shocking as my esb bill.
    To anyone that doesn't like me here.
    I hope you need to pee 3 times tonight, but that you only wake up twice.

    Nevermind all the tolls you hit on the way up and down.
    I could see the sense if we had better public transport, but i dont think there is a bus that would get me to the airport with enough time to catch the first flight. So i have no option to either get dropped up or drive myself.

    It's the same in Liverpool and Birmingham , and if i remember right, if you stop anywhere in Birmingham Airport except the rip off drop off zone, they fine you £100, all on cctv cameras. Rip off is understatement, only way around it would be get dropped at one of the hotels in the airport and a 10 min walk or their shuttle bus.

    That is a disgrace to say the least.

    They assume people who travel have lots of spare money laying around!

    Genuinely mystifying why they just haven't developed a dart line from Clongriffin. 6k pretty much through fields so it would be as cheap as chips and it's utility would be fantastic. An extra 5k would cover St Margarets and Swords.

    Shocking but true, I think most people call it an esb bill though. I was with bord gais last year and I felt silly calling it a gas bill as I don't have gas.
