I’ll be honest, I’m dead against it. People forget that traders need access to Dixon’s.
>…pedestrian shopping street dubbed north Dublin’s Temple Bar…
Who dubbed it that?
Excellent news, more of this throughout the country please.
This will be great, it will transform the village for the better.
I never understood why locals are objecting this. Literary nobody lives on this street, just shops and bars. What was the big issue?
Sure when the shops all close it will be somebody else’s fault.
These types of plans are a farce. If locals don’t want it it shouldn’t be forced down their throats.
I love the assertion that random cars passing through a street somehow offer protection against anti social behaviour.

I see The South Dublin Times is expanding it’s coverage to allow the wealthy NIMBYs in other locales, desperate to proclaim war, apocalypse and famine should a single street be pedestrianised, air their not-at-all-hyperbolic views
Everyone is talking about cars, but this was a street that was used by buses to turn to return to Portmarnock and on to town. The council implemented this overnight without even consulting with Dublin Bus. These buses now have to go down the narrower “Old Street” and it has caused them serious problems.
So urban developments are still going ahead despite local protestations?
Then you can retroactively start building alot of the residential developments that were shouted down as well
Good, that street is so lovely to walk down since they blocked it off to traffic during the pandemic.
What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Malahide town centre?
I’ll still drive down It on my motorbike. Laughing at everyone.
Perfect! This is the right way to go. The majority is not always right.
Great. I lived in Malahide with my partner’s family for a while during the pandemic and the part that is now pedestrianised is really nice to walk through. Malahide’s a really miserable part of Dublin to drive through anyway – some of the most obnoxious drivers in the country are around there and the roads are always needlessly jammed.
Military aged pedestrians
Thank fuck
This was opposed and cancelled in my village and I will never not be angry at it
This is great. I drink here and there is 0 need for any cars here.
People who choose to live in a town centre (with all of the conveniences that come with that) in a house with no designated parking and feel entitled to easy parking outside their house baffle me. The whole area is much nicer since they’ve blocked it off to cars and I’d find it hard to believe if it wasn’t a net good for the businesses in Malahide.
