No problem with parking machines, insists clamping regulator

“The fact that there is such a high success rate of appeals against clamping and fining decisions does suggest that there is something wrong with the system,” he said.Asked about the high ratio of upheld appeals, the NTA said last year marked the first full year of regulation of clamping activities in the State, and it was “not unexpected that the level of upheld appeals would take some time to normalise whilst the industry adjusted to the standards imposed by the new regulatory regime”.

Several people have complained on social media about being clamped at Luas car parks, claiming parking machines were not correctly recording their registration numbers.Transdev, which operates Luas, refused to disclose the number of appeals and complaints it had received over clamping at its car parks, saying the information is “commercially sensitive”.

The NTA said it does not collect information on how much money private operators collect from clamping around the country. “The Vehicle Clamping Act 2015 does not require parking controllers to register with the NTA prior to engaging in clamping activities,” he added.
