Dublin clampers given target of 60,000 clamps a year - report

Dublin clampers have been set a target to clamp 60,000 cars a year.

It is reported Dublin City Council has threatened to pay less for the service if the quota is not met.

In a letter to staff at Dublin Street Parking Services, if 60,000 cars are clamped this year and next, workers will get a €2,000 bonus each.

If the overall target is not reached, individuals who clamp more than 2,800 cars will get a personal bonus, according to the Irish Times report.

The target for towing is 1,467 removals.

Staff would also be able to finish early if they clamp or tow a certain number of vehicles.
