Metered parking is available on Merrion Square, while disabled parking spaces are located outside the Merrion Square entrance (nationalgallery.ie). This is the closest official driving option for visitors using the 89 Merrion Square West address. The gallery has two entrances, on Merrion Square West and Clare Street (nationalgallery.ie). Four disabled parking spaces are located outside the Merrion Square entrance (nationalgallery.ie), making that side the practical arrival point for eligible visitors. Drivers using ordinary on-street bays should allow time to find a space around the square. ## Merrion Square Parking Pressure and Nearby Street Controls Metered parking on Merrion Square is the main surrounding-street option identified for NGI visitors (nationalgallery.ie). The charge applies on the square rather than through an attraction-operated car park, so a visit depends on finding an available marked bay and paying at the roadside facility. The gallery's two public entrances are on Merrion Square West and Clare Street (nationalgallery.ie). Disabled parking is specifically provided outside the Merrion Square entrance, with four spaces at that side of the building (nationalgallery.ie). Those marked bays are intended for disabled parking, while other drivers need to use the metered parking on Merrion Square.
