The total amount of money put in to meters in 2017
The total number of fines for not displaying a parking ticket for 2017

It's not possible to provide the cost of the parking contract just for Lucan. The contract awarded to South Dublin Parking Services is for the entire parking service in South Dublin and it is not possible to divide into individual areas as the service is countywide. The monthly cost for the full service for the entire county €21,119 including VAT. 25.60% of marked parking spaces operated by South Dublin County Council under Pay and Display are in Lucan and of these parking spaces 60% are either on or in the immediate vicinity of Main Street, Lucan.
Total income from Parking Meters in the Lucan area up to the end of November 2017 is €130,762.19. This represents about 37% of all parking meter income in South Dublin.
