Almost 20,000 vehicles were clamped in County Kildare over a three-year period by private parking operator APCOA.
The figures have been released by the National Transport Authority.
19,786 vehicles were clamped across the county between the start of 2023 and the end of 2025.
That works out at an average of 18 vehicles every day — or around 127 every week.
The figures show clamping increased over that period.
In 2023, APCOA clamped 6,471 vehicles in the county.
By last year, that had risen to 7,162 — an increase of almost 11 per cent.
Naas accounted for more than a third of all clamps in the county.
St John’s Lane in Naas was one of the most heavily clamped locations, with almost 4,000 vehicles clamped over the three years.
Another 3,210 vehicles were clamped at the Friary Road car park.
