Sir, – I commend Dún Laoghaire for its initiative in offering one hour free parking seven days a week over the Christmas period (December 20th). Perhaps Greystones can learn from it, having recently been given a €80 fine for parking in a disabled parking space while taking my disabled mother to the doctor. The disabled permit was out of date. Scrooge is alive and well in Greystones! – Yours, etc,
