Dubliners are being urged to ‘rediscover the city’ this weekend with the area around Grafton Street closed off to cars
It is the first in a series of summer pedestrianisation trials, with cafés and restaurants urged to make use of the extra space to set up tables outdoors.
The streets will be closed off to traffic from 11am to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The trial will see five streets around Grafton Street closed off to traffic.
- Anne Street South from the junction of Dawson Street
- Duke Street from the junction of Dawson Street
- South William Street from the Brown Thomas car park exit to Chatham Row
- Drury Street from Fade Street to the Drury Street Car Park
- Dame Court from Exchequer Street.
The council said all car parks in the area will be accessible throughout the weekend.
