We can look forward to the pedestrianisation of Capel St and Parliament St in the
near future too.
Not forgetting the pedestrianisation of College Green
No one in DCC cares how these road closures and removal of ranks will affect and impact on drivers.

Gibney's et al, prefer getting their punters legless, then insist they walk.

An Irish solution to an Irish problem.

I think the various Councils have gone too far and completely forgotten about taxis (or deliberately decided to fukk us over).

Dublin city centre is kinda a no-go area now for taxis.  There's very few places to pick-up/drop-off now.  There's nowhere that I can see around Camden St - don't know how the night drivers cope!

Who took your money, JIT?

I don't think pedestrianisation causes any difficulty to taxis. In fact, it facilitates socialising which creates demand for cabs. How that could be construed as inconvenient is beyond me.

taxi ranks swallowed up by pedestrianisation.
big wigs on adjacent non prestrianisationised streets don't want bowsies in tracksuits parked near their business and will fight against a new taxi rank even though their businesses are intertwined with the taxi trade.
that's the catch 22 problem in Malahide now.
i need a rubbish tip for my rubbish but i don't want the rubbish tip on my doorstep.
