Re: Re: Grafton Street 21st centuary

The area between Grafton St and South Great George’s St is one my favourite areas in the city, especially around the arcade. It has a really offbeat charm and it lovely and quiet in comparison to the rest of the city centre. Not only that, but the quirky shops make it what it is.
I know Dublin City Council want the area to be a Temple Bar as Temple Bar was originally planned to be, and that seems a good call, but so long as every application to open shop etc in the area is considered for its merits and not just increasing footfall. We’ve enough Carrolls, newagents and mobile phone shops already, thanks.
