Notice - Coal Harbour Car Park – Height Restriction Barrier

Dun Laoghaire Harbour Bye Law No 67 states:

No Caravan, mobile home, dormobile or similar vehicle, which is used, or is capable of being used for habitation, shall park or remain within the Harbour, save for vehicles which are in immediate transit to or from a ferry in the Harbour. 

The Coal Harbour Car Park in Dun Laoghaire Harbour is the primary access route into the main Harbour slipway and the Public Boat Yard within Dun Laoghaire Harbour. The slipway is the only access to the water for launching a boat on a trailer between the river Liffey and Bray, Co. Wicklow. The slipway is regularly used by schools, clubs, agencies and members of the public. 

In previous years, this car-park has become popular with Camper Vans and Mobile Homes, to the extent that vehicles towing boats have been unable to access the boatyard or the slipway, particularly at weekends. 

In order to enforce the bye-law and to protect access to the public slipway and the public boat yard for boat users, a Height Restriction barrier has been installed and access can be requested through the Harbour Police if required.
