Parking near the Forty Foot

Sir, – I was incredibly upset to hear of the plight that has befallen the poor motorists of Naas that Ann Fitzsimons bravely spoke about in her letter (Letters, July 1st). I was inspired by her words and the powerful way in which she spoke of her struggle and her experience of the abject horror of discrimination.

So inspired that I was, I took to Google and typed “Forty Foot, Parking” and found parking – Google told me – in 0.92 seconds, a little over 900m away. It told me that this would take an extra 12 minutes out of a driver’s day.

Naturally, I was disappointed to see that Google too was involved in this culture of discrimination towards people who choose to drive from two counties over and expect an ever-present space on public land upon which they can store their private property.

We march ever onwards.
