I’m sure that it will get better over time, its just that the current developments like Chief O’Neills do not embrace the space in front, preferring to hide behind the wall of the old distillery. Lets see what happens with the development of the Duffy brothers Scrapyard, hopefully it will have the retail units to bring the area to life. Does anyone know whats going on there?
Don’t forget that its only March at the moment, Lets see how the place looks in the summer – probably dusty from the building sites around the area, but I’m sure the place will start to catch on. Why not have something like the Temple Bar Market in the place, It would attract more people down there than the Horse fair.

Muna bhfaca sibh e leis na braziers ar lasadh, molaim daoibh dul ann. Is fiu e.
If you haven’t seen it with the braziers alight, I recommend going to take a look.

I’m doing a dissertation on the development of Temple Bar and how it has affected the rest of the city. Does anyone think that the route from Henry St to the new square will develop in a strong enough manner so as to draw pedestrians right down to the square. Do you think that the new pedestrian bridge will change the focus of pedestrians to a more westerly direction towards Smithfield?

Smithfield is great, the absence of structures in Duffy’s is the cause of the problem. If you are walking/driving on the south quays to the West, one observes this great vignette through the narrow streets. If a proper framework is put together for the area, it will create that ‘surprise effect’, that one should experience on arrival to a major urban space. And yes, the braziers are wonderful when alight.
