Paid a visit to the Lime works in Kilkenny on Sunday. Absolutely packed with motorhomes. I counted 45 parked in the 'works' with a further 6 parked in main carpark. MHs parked very closely together... not my scene but it shows how motorhomes can have a positive impact on the local economy. More towns should follow Kilkenny's example and free up some of the many derelict sites in their local areas.

I haven't been there,yet. It sounds like it's like an unlined French or Spanish Aire in high season.
A good Aire should have clearly marked bays.
Cobh and Dungarvan are examples of best practice.

That's exactly it. Basically a hardcore back garden, with the basic /minimum facilities provided
There are numbered spaces marked on the wall, which are adequate, but when you put some people in the mix nothing works. Still a great deal better than any other city in this country.

I saw that one coming, I walked out of the Aire with Liath behind a guy, who said to another, at pay station, why put money in there when you can park next door, indicating the Aires, too miserable to put a few euro in the meter.
