Liffey Valley workers have called for a large protest this Sunday 23rd from 12-2 pm at Liffey Valley Shopping Center.

They are protesting against the imposition of parking charges for workers. The meeting point is at the Liffey Valley sign at the junction beside Quarryvale park Some workers will face a minimum of €600 per year in car parking charges. This could rise to the thousands as there are not enough staff car parking spaces available, forcing staff members to use the more expensive customer car park. Dublin Mid-West TD Gino Kenny who has been supporting the workers said: “I fully support the workers protesting against these excess charges. These charges are tantamount to a pay cut and are completely unacceptable, especially in the ongoing cost of living crisis. Retail workers are generally not the best-paid workers, so asking workers to pay to come to work is nonsensical. Liffey Valley management needs to renegotiate with retail staff, unions, and tenants because this proposal in charging staff €2.50 per day for parking is unworkable.”
