You can't go North --> South during rush hour in the morning.

I thought that restriction is gone.I'll check later.

It's 24/7 for public transport including us.

I drove from D'Olier St though to Dame St this afternoon.  It is 24hrs but the sign said 'Buses, trams and bicycles'.  No mention of taxis so now I'm wondering if, technically, we're banned from there as well?

College Green – Southbound Taxi Movements Prohibited
College Green – 7am to 10am Southbound Taxi Movements Prohibited

On Monday 12 March, new restrictions were introduced for taxis driving in the area around College Green in Dublin’s City Centre.


The arrangements related to College Green which came into operation on Monday, are as follows:

During the hours 7am to 10am, Monday to Friday, taxis will not be permitted to travel southbound through College Green. The measure will affect vehicles moving in front of Trinity College, either towards Grafton Street, or towards Dame Street.
Approximately 150 taxis per hour move southbound through College Green during this peak.
Outside of these peak morning hours, taxis can continue to use this southbound route through College Green towards Dame Street or Grafton Street.
Between the hours of 12.00am (midnight) and 6am taxis will be permitted to travel northbound through College Green from Grafton Street Lower – i.e. using Dawson Street, Nassau Street and Grafton Street Lower. This will facilitate taxis to operate in this part of the city centre which caters for high volumes of night time social activity.
Taxis travelling through College Street towards Westmoreland Street are unaffected.
Northbound movements by taxis from Dame Street towards Westmoreland Street are unaffected.
A right turn will be provided at the south end of Fishamble Street to facilitate taxis using this alternative route.
27 bus routes (30%) have already been removed from College Green.

I thought that was recently changed to 24 Hour Public service vehicles only?

That one is gone as far as I could see.  Like I said, it was 'Bus, trams & bicycles' x 24 hrs.  No signs mentioning taxis that I could see going D'Olier St to Dame St...

If anybody is in town tonight or tomorrow, read the signs for yerselves and report back!

That Google Earth photo is out of date.  The 7-10am times have been replaced with a 24hr sticker.  Today, it still said 'Bus, trams & bicycles' and again no mention of taxis.  That's why I'm wondering if taxis are now technically banned from driving D'Olier St to Dame St?

All I can say is drive by and have a look for yourself...

The street view is blocked by a bus and tram. I'm going with the DCC information above. OOB for taxis southbound in the mornings. OK in the evenings.

I use College Street whenever I have to, but then again I only work nights.

We're agreeing 99% with other.  I'm just saying the word taxi does not seem to appear on the southbound traffic sign.

The old sign (from Google Earth) was:



and the new sign I saw today looked something like this 



No mention of taxis in either one!
