People are funny about parking and a 3 euro charge (most occasional users will not have a parkbytext account) will often persuade two people in a car to drive rather than use the train. There is no way the parking charges are revenue positive to Irish Rail.
In urban areas it is different, you could argue that the charges are too low in places like Longford or Mullingar where the stations are in the town centre and it can cost a euro an hour to park on the street. In these cases, they should give you a day free with a day return and two or three days with a monthly return.
