Hi,
I've just won some tickets to a concert in Croke. Its too late to book a hotel, unless i want to spend 300 Euro, so I'm probably just going to drive down and back up to Belfast after.
Does anyone know a good place to park at a reasonable rate where I'll probably get in ok and out after without too much hassle? We'll probably go down in the afternoon (a Saturday).
Thanks.

    You could park at the red cow junction just off the m50 and get the tram into town, about half an hour. Walk up from abbey street or busaras stops. It saves a lot of bother with very slow moving traffic if you don't mind the walk, which is about a mile from busaras. Keep going up Amiens street, bear left you can't miss it.

    The other choice is to take the tunnel (cheap on a Saturday), turn right at the o2, and continue along the river. Some quite big parks on your right there.

    I always park in Malahide then get the short train in, gets you away from all the gridlock traffic and back up home quicker (IMO)

    Thanks guys. Does the train from Malahide run late at night too and is there parking at the station? is there a stop at Croke? That sounds interesting.

    Last time we went to a concert at Croke Park we parked in the short stay carpark at the airport and then got an Aircoach which dropped us pretty near Croke Park.
