    È come se il consiglio comunale di Dublino a volte odiasse la città…

      It was always empty anyways, nobody can afford to drink in town anymore.

      I remember years ago sitting on benches outside the Temple Bar Pub.

      Good. I love sunny beers (I’m having one right now) bug that area has been ludicrous carnage the last couple of years.

      There’s plenty of places to drink in the sun , the idea that was “one of the only sunny street terraces in the city” is clickbait bullshit

      It did block walking on the street. There does need to be another solution

      These outdoor areas need permission, and to pay a fee. DCC often come and close them when the business has either been refused permission, not applied, or not paid. 

      refusal can often be because the street is too small to accommodate tables and leave enough space for people to walk by. I think thats reasonable generally, but if that the reason here that’s nonsense obviously. Think is from this tweet we don’t don’t if that the case or what. 

      Personally, and call me a centrist dad if you want or other such labels, but I don’t have a problem with DCC controlling public space and stopping business from taking over public space for private profit. I don’t have a problem with DCC charging a small fee to private businesses so they can use public space for private profit. 

      have DCC made a mess of public realm, absolutely. Is this as example of that? one tweet with no info doesn’t really suggest it is. 

      before I sharpen my pitchfork over this, I’m going to give DCC the benefit of the doubt …. for now.

      A lot of the discourse around stuff likes this forgets about wheelchair users etc…, who shouldn’t have to shout in order for people to clear a passage for them. They might like to be out and about on a sunny day too.

      They do, all you have to do is look at the area between Connolly Station and Capel Street to see that.

      But I Don’t know if businesses taking over paths are a good example of this.

      I don’t understand why the councillors who we elect have to beg these arses to do / not to do things. I get that we need permanent employees in order for things to work properly… But shouldn’t councillors have some power on the COUNCIL!? Shouldn’t they be able to do something? Or maybe we should rename them elected nudgers so people will stop being disappointed with them for not being able to do things when they have zero power over the flipping council

      Dublin City Council do hate the city. We need a directly elected mayor with executive power so that we can hold them to account. This nonsense of a CEO has to come to an end.
