Council launches public consultation on how to develop George’s Dock
Whatever is decided, Dublin City Council doesn’t plan to cover the costs. Instead, it wants a private operator to come in and deliver a facility or activity.
When designs for the new-look plaza at the corner of South Great George’s Street and Dame Lane went before councillors last year, they said it looked like a hotel entrance.
They say they hope that bringing more activity to it will reduce anti-social activity there – and also just put an underused space to better use.
Dara Quigley asks why, for those with little spare cash, Dublin’s centre is so unwelcoming. And why do we put up with it?
