Eyre Square desperately needs something done to it though, and it’s hard to imagine anything being worse than what’s there now. Galway Corporation did a great job of pedestrianising Shop Street, and renovating the area around the Spanish Arch so I’d be willing to trust them. I don’t live in Galway any more so I haven’t seen the proposals though, although I’ve heard they are pedestrianising the side of the Square in front of the Skeff. Not sure if that’s true. They really need to do something with that car-parking area in front of Dunnes/Supermacs, it looks awful.
Speaking of Arnotts, that is the most confusingly laid out store I’ve ever been in. I hope they don’t extend it and make it even more maze-like.
Wetherspoons aren’t as bad as that! I have been living in Glasgow for a while now, where they have opened 3 new Wetherspoons pubs recently, in the city centre. They are very stylishly finished, no swirly carpets in sight. Also, they have a policy of not playing any music, which I think is great – I’m not hoarse the next morning from having to shout to make myself heard. And the prices are great. I’m glad they’re opening in Dublin, I might be able to afford a drink in town the next time I’m home…
