Parking at Mary Immaculate College on South Circular Road
MIC’s Limerick campus is at 5 South Circular Road, with access from the Dock Road entrance to the Southern Link Road (mic.ul.ie). The college’s visitor guidance describes the campus as accessible from all major routes, which makes driving from outside Limerick straightforward (mic.ul.ie).
The published visitor information also identifies Steamboat Quay car park as 15 metres from the Clayton Hotel Limerick front door, with access priced at €8.50 for 24 hours or €22 for a weekly ticket (mic.ul.ie). Those rates apply to the Steamboat Quay facility rather than establishing a general campus tariff.
The listing is useful for EV drivers, but the charging cost is separate from the parking charge.
Parksy Spaces Within Reach of the MIC Campus
A Parksy space 1.5 km from the campus is priced at €7.50 a day. Its day rate suits students attending for a full timetable day, staff needing regular daytime parking and visitors who want a simple daily cost away from the campus entrance.
The hourly structure is better suited to a short appointment, a meeting or a visitor staying for part of the day than to someone attending classes from morning to evening.
Both priced spaces are outside the campus itself, so they are alternatives for drivers who can accept a longer approach to 5 South Circular Road. The daily option offers a fixed cost for a full day, while the St Nessans Road option lets shorter visits pay only for the hours used.
Council Parking and Other Car Parks Around South Circular Road
Limerick City & County Council provides off-campus parking in designated two-hour zones on Ashbourne Avenue, South Circular Road and Summerville Avenue (misu.ie). These locations are the most direct short-stay options for a brief visit near the campus, rather than a solution for a full day of lectures or work.
The two-hour rule makes the council zones useful for dropping in, attending a short appointment or collecting someone, while longer stays require a different arrangement. The restriction applies to the designated zones named by the council information source, so the permitted stay is not an all-day allowance.
Steamboat Quay is another nearby option identified in MIC’s visit guidance. Access is €8.50 for 24 hours or €22 for a weekly ticket, and the car park is 15 metres from the Clayton Hotel Limerick front door (mic.ul.ie). The facility is more suitable for longer visits than the council’s two-hour zones.
Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Near the Limerick Campus
Parking pressure is likely to be greatest during the college’s teaching periods, when students and staff arrive together for the daily timetable.
The surrounding council-controlled options include designated two-hour zones on Ashbourne Avenue, South Circular Road and Summerville Avenue (misu.ie). The two-hour limit is especially important during term-time visits, because it rules out leaving a car in those zones for a full day of classes or work.
The Steamboat Quay car park is 15 metres from the Clayton Hotel Limerick front door, making it practical for an event requiring more time on site.
Walking and Rail Access to Mary Immaculate College
Limerick railway station is the nearest station listed for the campus, at 1.2 km and a 16-minute walk. Rail is therefore a practical alternative for students, staff and visitors who would otherwise be making a short city journey by car.
The campus is 1.3 km from Limerick centre. Drivers coming from the centre can compare the short approach with parking farther out and walking the final section, particularly when the council’s nearby spaces are limited to two hours.
The college’s visitor guidance says MIC Limerick is just minutes from the Dock Road entrance to the Southern Link Road (mic.ul.ie). That route information helps visitors approaching by car, while Limerick railway station provides the clearest public-transport arrival point for the final walk.
