Can you not go without for one day?

Would your readers be aware of anywhere open in Dublin city centre, on Christmas Eve. Not interested in the ‘can’t you go one day?’ debate, or ‘staff deserve time off’ etc. Just seeing if there is anywhere alive on the 24th up to 10-11pm.Thanks and happy holidays to you

Anyone?

Meanwhile, last week, RTÉ reported:

“In a review of risks to the Irish economy, the Central Bank noted that house price growth in Dublin is now higher than that recorded at the peak of the property bubble in 2006. House price growth in Dublin has been above 23% since June. This is higher than the previous peak in house price growth of 22.5% – recorded in August 2006 – at the height of the housing bubble. The Central Bank said that the identification and removal of barriers to further housing construction – either financial or planning – is urgently needed to increase the supply of housing in the market.”
