This morning.
Dublin 2.
Via Dublin City Council.
Works commencing to widen the footpath at College Green between Trinity College and Church Lane (outside Abercombie & Fitch) to create additional space for queueing at the bus stops at this location while leaving the footpath clear for thru pedestrians…
Dublin’s College Green is set to be pedestrianised – and cars restricted throughout the city – under plans to reopen the city centre as Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
A joint report from Dublin City Council chief executive Owen Keegan and Brendan O’Brien of its traffic department said “the same level of vehicular traffic cannot be accommodated in the city as before”, and in a number of locations “motorised vehicles” would have to banned after 11am each day….

Yesterday.
Dame Street, Dublin 2.
The first day of Dublin City Council’s traffic-free trial in College Green.
How was it for you?
We received notification today that the College Green plaza plan has been refused by An Bord Pleanála. We noted that An Bord Pleanála clearly noted the same concerns that were expressed by DublinTown in its submissions.

Yesterday
Central Plaza, Dame Street, Dublin 2
Construction underway on the site of the former Central Bank building, completing renovation work on the polarising slice of Brutalist architecture, that will include: shops, 12,000sqm of office space and a 300-seat rooftop restaurant.
Work was stopped on the original building when it was spotted the construction was too tall by at least 30 feet, or two extra floors.
Good times.
