An application for street furniture outside seven venues on an “extremely busy” Dublin street has been branded “ridiculous”.
Dublin Commuter Coalition chair Feljin Jose is concerned about the impact on pedestrians if a large part of the footpath on South Great George’s Street is given over to bars and restaurants. He also hit out at Dublin City Council’s “archaic” street furniture licensing system as he says the proposals are not available to view online.
In order to see the files, a notice about the application says you have to attend the Civic Offices in person while any submissions must be made by post. The active travel advocate told us: “Unfortunately, there’s no online system at all.”
