Just a bit confused, maybe someone can enlighten me?
Was at Bettystown yesterday for a good few hours. As we drove onto the beach, i noticed two County Council open back vans parked at the entrance, one facing the water, the other facing the road. As we pulled up, a guy got out of one of the vans and gave us a parking ticket which was two euro. Basically, it seems that barrier isn't working etc so they need a guy there taking money at the entrance - fair enough. Question is this, why was there two vans, one had a female in it and she sat in her van for at least two and a half hours (when we left she was still sitting there), she didn't get out at all, she cleaned the inside of the van for a few minutes but otherwise just sat reading whilst the other guy got in and out as a few cars entered the beach. Weather was pretty brutal yesterday so small number of vehicles present at beach - maybe 20 when I was there. Anyone know what that was about? surely Meath County Council are not paying two staff members in two vans, double time for sitting at the beach collecting a few quid from cars.
