A butcher on Moore Street is prepared to do a week in Mountjoy prison rather than pay Dublin City Council rates.
Stephen Troy, of Troy's Family Butchers, is refusing to pay the local authority rates due to the "neglected" state of Moore Street. Mr Troy told Dublin Live the condition of the historic street is impacting on his business.
He said: "Independent store traders and market traders on this street have seen a year on year impact on our trade as a result of the neglect. In the meantime, businesses and market traders are expected to pay their rates.
