Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

The Hares get a writeup in todays Times (I wont post it as it has already been detailed from the DCC press release). The pic on the front page also shows pedestrians sitting on the statue base. Surely with the coming of the kiosks, we shall see more seating, or will this public seating on the street be effectively privatised as the kiosk will be under private control as cafes etc.

The fact that there is no seating perhaps shows just how little the street has actually changed. Sure, it looks all the better for its wider footpaths but it is still not thought of as a place to linger or relax. Just a means to access shops.

Any progress on your before and after shots Graham!

Also wondering how the new lighting is working out at GPO. Anyone seen the top section lit yet?
