Whatever about the adult stores, I’d like to see the back of the tacky casinos that have prime locations in the city. Complete eye sore and do nothing positive.
Yeah it’s the other dildos that are in government that’s why they need less adult shop’s nowadays #dildocheatsusall
Is it April 1st already?
Well what were the other proposals to improve the city?
We need more pharmacies and franchise fast food outlets and coffee shops ..that’s a “revival” nothing says “we support business” like closing down business.
Come on one and all, let’s close these disgusting places that sell nipple clamps to our sexually curious population, put me right of my chips they do. If I see another store sale on fleshlights and vibrators I’ll get sick.
Now stick your paw up and vote for the government that says no to sex toys.
Time to panic buy dildos and butt plugs
Small independent stores are history everywhere. They can’t compete with the chains and the interweb.
What’s left are coffee and charity shops.
“Nice work, Marge. That was our only burlesque house.”
Who is going to benefit from these retail outlets losing their premises? Like these aren’t brothels and sex shows or strip joints or casinos even. They’re harmless retailers, no different than selling shin pads to footballers really. Leads me to think someone’s after their premises.
Not included in adult stores: gambling establishments and pubs. That is some half assed pearl clutching.
I can only assume (hope) this is one minor thing mentioned in discussions which the Independent have pounced on for clickbaity headlines. Dublin doesn’t even have THAT many adult stores does it?
What about the mobile phone shops that are set up as business fronts for money laundering
A spokesperson for the Irish Association of Gagged Gimps went on the record to say “mmhhmmm, hmm, hmmm hmmm mmmh, hmm!”. Mayor Gilliland was not available for a response to these comments.
Someone’s been caught buying poppers
remember the last time virtue signalling saved us all, god im glad we’re not one of those countries who rave about anne summers parties for a week after the hen
20 small premises in a 1 million person city holding us all back, disgraceful
I for one agree with this government decision. I mean otherwise the economy will falter.
Ya see what happened in lockdown is this.
Everyone was at home, not in the office so they started to explore when they were bored. They all started jerking the gherkins and finger bashing their wee fannies.
When that got old people then resorted to pocket pussies and big aul dildos and sure where’d they get those? The DIRTY FILTHY SEX SHOPS!!
Now nobody wants to go back to the office.
You want a coffee? Sorry no can do, because the owner can’t get a Barry the barista to work as he’s too busy bringing himself to ecstasy at his family home day after day.
Want a chicken fillet roll? Sorry no can do, because Centra can’t get Mary to run the deli as she’s too busy sipping wine in the bath making a splash with her vibrator.
Ireland doesn’t need a train from Dublin airport to the city centre or more bike paths or better rental control. Sure it doesn’t even need insurance reform or better hospitals. It doesn’t even need action about renewable energy nor does it need high speed internet in rural areas.
No Ireland needs to purge itself of the sex shops who are preying on sex crazed people like Barry and Mary.
May Saint Patrick and the Irish government save us from racy underwear and brightly colored condoms.
In ordinary Japanese convenience stores, such as Family Mart, there are sex toys in full view on the counter by the cash register. LOL
Increasing the amount of independent stores and doing what they do in Berlin incentives and protection to small independent retailers.
That goes big for shopping centres too a percentage of shopping space has to be for small independent business and priced accordingly.
Why focus on crime, or the economy, or even fixing the seething pit of corruption when you can take away the only good time we have left.
Now where is the license inspector to go when we tell him to shove it up his arse.
To be fair the indo have just put focus in the wrong place , many towns and villages have rules against ehh ‘low brow retail ‘ ( bookies, tattoo parlor, casino, sex shop, cash4gold, phone accessories) on some of their streets. I think reducing the number of these outlets is a good thing for dublin, clean up the city a bit.
But it needs to be done in tandem with loads of building residential housing and the services they need
You’d love to be a fly on the wall at the meetings these lads have. How on earth did they come to the conclusion that less adult stores, more people using the bus and spending €1m on Christmas lights was the answer to reviving the city?
Gotta make room for another Carrolls Irish Gifts shop
Less drug addicts and inner city scummers please.
How about we move methodone clinics out of the city centre, make sure they’re well serviced with public transport, and put a stop to the open dealing on the streets outside places where people are trying to get help. It’s fucking ridiculous. I saw about 8 addicts gathered around a young guy selling drugs outside Merchants Quay building the other day. Then one guy came over and elbowed another in the head. Fucking madness. The guards don’t care. That whole quay is like Hamsterdam in the Wire.
My bf and i would be MORE inclined to visit and spend in Dublin if there were more high-class (ie. Not shady) sex stores. Got some nice treats in Ann Summers there last week but it would be nice if they had more on offer/there were other similar stores to peruse
Stupid sexy shops
This is coming from DublinTown for Business Improvement District (BID). They say adult shops are known to dissuade families from going to the same street, a quick look online and most adult shops are either on some of the busiest streets in the capitol or in small alley way types.
Literally just going for low hanging fruit, if they really wanted to increase footfall in the capital why not focus on all the vacants and empty office buildings.
Does anyone actually go into adult stores? Surely most people do that sort if shopping online.
I would not be able to come up with stupid shit like this even if you’d pay me.
Whenever I see a new government proposal, I wonder how they come up with it and then I remember this video where writers and producers of Shrek were coming up with ideas for a new sequel. They were in a room with a board and sticky notes and they were just shouting random funny shit that would be written on a sticky note and then they would connect them together to come up with some random funny plot.
That’s how I see the government.
let’s just sweep sexuality under the carpet again because we’ll never learn
Bruuuh , I swear this country is shooting itself in the foot rn
Sex shops. Yep. That’s the problem. Not the lack of anything worth going into the city centre for. Nor all the scumbags making the place feel so unsafe.
Adult stores don’t bother me, in fact we need to be more open about sex. Casinos do. Bookies do. Chaim coffee shops do. Independent business need support.
DCC want to just completely sanitise the city and have it exist solely as a tourist destination
Link please?
I thought we separated church from state?
How stupid. Look at Amsterdam.
Stupid sexy flanders!
The Christians are coming, hide your kids
Why are wants of religious puritanical people afraid of sex being prioritized over peoples needs?
This is actually a very serious thing if passed. Ireland is a moderate country and we’re are massively benefit from moving away from the church.
The reasoning given is:
A report submitted to Dublin City Council looks at the issue of adult stores. It states that these stores are “known to dissuade families from visiting a street”.
“We do not believe adult stores are an appropriate use in districts which seek increased footfall and appeal to a family market,”
This is of course absolute bullshit. Its conservatives just sating they disagree with adult shops and making up unverified reasons to remove them. Same wankers who went mental over Ann Summers on oConnell Street.
They’re talking about S-E-X, Infront of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N.
Coz dildos are the problem. Try the dildos in the Dáil.

I know people need little more than a headline to get outraged about, but in case anyone wants to get outraged in more detail here’s a [link](https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/reducing-number-of-adult-stores-forms-proposal-to-revive-city-41417927.html) to the article.
