Businesses on Capel Street and the surrounding area have hit out at the 24/7 traffic ban.
Since May, all traffic apart from deliveries between 6am and 11am have been banned from the street. Temporary bollards were placed at the top of Capel Street to block all traffic coming from Parnell Street.
In a new survey conducted by a number of business people on the street, over 70% of businesses said they were "unsatisfied" with the current traffic plans. Just over half, 52%, said the traffic ban had a "negative effect" on their business, 19% said they had a positive impact while 29% said they had no real impact or did not answer the question.
