The vote to ban traffic from Capel Street permanently has been dubbed "illegal" by two councillors.
Dublin City Council's Central Area Committee voted to make the trial traffic ban permanent despite no vote appearing on the agenda. The Committee was due to hear an update on the trial which included the introduction of six benches and the resurfacing of the street concluding.
Chair of the area committee, Cllr Ray McAdam, "pushed" a vote to make the trial permanent during the update. The vote was passed with eight voting in favour, two against and one abstention.
