Didn’t notice that! He’s also parked on a junction, so that’s another!

A delivery truck making a stop to a local business. Get a life or better yet phone the Dublin Street Parking Services if it bothers you that much

no, really, it was *never* OK to park on the footpath. Or the double yellow line. Or at a junction.
Those restrictions ARE THERE FOR A REASON. danger, inconvenience and consideration to other citizens are three that come to mind.
Going about one’s daily business does not excuse that. How difficult would it be to park correctly and trolley the goods to and from the truck?
I’d have no issue with emailing the photo to the company suggesting an improvement in their staff’s civic awareness.
I’m going to order two pizzas and fall asleep before they arrive…
-Just like you did that time…
So yeah, Vote YES.
Pizza is okay.

It’s a Merc, with it’s hazzard lights on. Merc and BMW drivers can park wherever they like once the hazzards are on.

Pallas Foods absolutely the worst offenders across the city. They park anywhere with not thought or consideration for the other road and footpath users.

So true. James’s st and Lord Edward st. In the bike lane every morning.

He or she doesn’t seem to be doing any actual harm, and maybe s/he’s watching from nearby and will nip out and move as soon as a problem arises. Perhaps people on Broadsheet should reserve their outrage for actual rather than potential harm to others. We don’t want to wind up like the poor cycle nazis, ranting at everyone who doesn’t bow down to their ethical superiority…
Serv
Oh, so if I had got smooshed he would have moved the truck so the paramedics could scoop me off the road.
That’d be a Serving of smoosh on a scoop then…. I’ll have a flake with mine please

You’re still with us? Shame

Palla Foods truck. So is this a “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner”?
Gary Flood
Pallas, even.
Bacchus
he’s not doing any real harm, there’s plenty of room at that junction and feck all parking for a truck that size anywhere around there.
Get a life, you know… that thing every one has?

If everyone had one then nobody would need to go get one.
Bacchus
You’re right, I meant (almost) everyone else.

Try doing business around Dublin, you’d have a collection of a dozen photos/videos by midday. Inadequate amount of loading spots, Rathmines/Ranelagh/Bray are a nightmare. I had a call I had to give up on last Wednesday because I couldn’t get a legal parking spot, Pallas driver won’t have the option.
Eoghany
Not actually blocking anyone. Most people accept that trucks have to get their deliveries in, and some times need to do a little cheeky park for a few mins. Absolute non story.
Bingo
Correct. None of these twits ever drove a delivery van/truck.
It’s not an easy job, and this post is indicative of the ignorance of those who expect their shop shelves to be replenished by helicopter, their buses to arrive on time in rush hour traffic, and a right to moan when it doesn’t go that way because they stopped off for a coffee.
I was only taking the piss out of that attitude.
I KNOW that Delivery-Men are the backbone of our economy.
I KNOW they don’t get paid properly.
I KNOW the abuse they get for being Polish, (although the vast majority of them aren’t.).
So, eh…
Vote YES.
Bingo
I forgive you.

In the Roman Empire, all deliveries were done after nightfall. Had it sorted, them Romans.

OK, OK But apart from the nighttime only deliveries…….

Why is the license plate blurred out? The plate is public and it’s a public place. No need to protect the not so innocent
Supercrazyprices
Don’t mind a quick stop for a delivery but that’s not a great place to choose.
But in defense of delivery truck drivers, too many loading bays are illegally used by ‘Moms’ and their SUVs dropping in to pick up something and taking an hour to do it.
Parked on a double yellow line. Not double parked.
Thanks Fergus the magic postman. Fixed now.
And parking on the footpath.
and facing wrong way.. just to be pedantic

You tell ’em Pixel!
You can park in a double yellow line if you are unloading
& outa that garden…that pasta isn’t gonna deliver itself
At least you took the time to take a picture of it instead of getting on with your life
Well i was waiting for the cars beside me clear, before trying to get around him. So i wasn’t going anywhere for a bit.
Excuse me.
I’m drunk.

Me and all me mates used to dream of driving a delivery van/truck.
Somehow it never worked out like that for any of us.
I’t’s not a problem…We all converted to Hindu and sure you never know…
Next time we might be lucky.
Sorry.
I sympathise with ALL Delivery Drivers.
