They probably just expect us to drop them off at Christchurch or Tara street or the quays.Templebar now has spilled over into South William and nearly out to Georges street.Tourists will walk the rest of the way even with their cases.

It was clear that they didn't really care about the elderly when they removed the Dawson rank.If you can't walk a kilometre or two Dublin city won't be a good place to go on yer hols or shopping.

Young lad on our road is a walker .Works with a courier company .Van pulls into loading bay and yer man collects the Parcels for delivery .Van driver working say South William Quarter so from Grafton to Georges street Dame street and Cuffe Street drives around until he finds a vacant loading bay then youngfella loads up and does the deliveries .then waits for next van if there is one he is only paid for the hours he works so sometimes only gets two hours a day .

It's a small enough area.Often you'd walk it faster than driving.If I'm ever out around Camden street/Harcourt it's only a short walk to the North quays to get a taxi when it was busy.

All the lights and one way systems make it seem bigger in the car.

Dublin businesses have been invited by Dublin City Council to apply for permission to put tables and chairs outside their premises, despite safety concerns on the part of disability groups.

A Covid-19 “mobility intervention programme” for the city published by the council and the National Transport Authority (NTA) in recent weeks proposed allowing businesses, particularly cafes and restaurants, to use outdoor space for customers, to enable them to reopen as coronavirus-related restrictions eased.

The council is now seeking applications from businesses “interested in expanding into the public realm” from June 29th.
