Finding a space with SpotPass
SpotPass is a community parking app for Ireland. When a driver is leaving a space, they tap Pass, and drivers nearby can see it on the map and claim it, so there's less time spent circling the town centre. SpotPass shows spaces that drivers are leaving. It doesn't take parking payments.
SpotPass isn't available to download yet. Join the waiting list and we'll let you know when it launches.
