Noticed a few of these in Terryglass harbour this morning.
Later on some more have been erected in the lower carpark in Domineer.
Are they just an advisor notice or are they legally enforceable?

Don’t worry about them I’ve used there a few times and will be back until I’m asked by the Garda to move on. The local pub is very happy to take our euros for drink and food. If I have a few pints I’ll tell the Gardai I’ll move in the morning.

What's written on the bottom of the sign Malcolm?
That wording seems to apply to all vehicles.

See pages 5/34, 5/35, 5/36 and 5/37 HERE, they are the only legal parking signs.

I can't make out the writing or the logo on the bottom but if they're Waterways Ireland signs on Waterways Ireland property then it would be very difficult to argue against them.

No mention of Waterways Ireland at all

Does that mean you can't leave your car there and walk home after a night in the pub ? :-/

Thorn has it in a nutshell. However, I take the view that as long as the location is not abused by long stay, bad behaviour, littering etc, then it will not be enforced. The council though has established a backstop which could if required be enforced. I would be very surprised to find an enforcement officer working outside of the hours 9 to 5.

I also take the view that if I can park for 20 or 30 nights (different locations) and get fined once, it is still good value. The bigger concern is if height barriers are installed.

I've trawled through all the parking bye-laws for county Tipperary and can't find any referring to Terryglass.
The sign used is also not listed in the DTTS listing of regulatory signs to regulate parking.

So, it's not an officially recognised sign, probably made up locally because there is no legal basis for an official sign.
IMHO, it's just yet another unofficial sign to make life for motorhome users difficult and scare off the innocent.

We parked up at Terryglass overnight a few months back. We were going by the reviews on the Motorhome parking app which were positive even if there was some warning about the signs. Official or not, I don’t think it matters so long as you are not over staying or being a nuisance. Sometimes I think these signs only exist so that they may be enforced if needed, as in ‘bad clientele ‘.
