Lord Mayor of Dublin denies Capel Street pedestrianisation will be 'scuppered' by plaza plans

The Lord Mayor of Dublin Alison Gilliland has denied the pedestrianisation of Capel Street will be "scuppered" by plans for a plaza nearby.

After repeated calls from Councillors and businesses Capel Street was pedestrianised after a test run during the pandemic, and a public consultation found 79% of respondents were in favour of it.

But there are plans to turn the area where Liffey Street Lower meets the Ha'penny Bridge into a traffic-free civic plaza, and reports indicated the plans may scupper the popular pedestrianisation of Capel Street.
