Today.
Dublin’s Victorian Fruit and Vegetable Market between Capel Street and Smithfield in Dublin 7 will close today, after being open for 127 years, to make way for a redevelopment which is expected to take two years.
Last week RTÉ reported that a compensation package for the last remaining stallholders at the market was believed to involve up to €5million.
A tender for the redevelopment will be put out next month.
