Vicar Street “Quarter” (1 Viewer)

[pete]

It is generally acknowledged that Dublin needs a venue for acts that are too large for 1,000 capacity venues like Vicar Street and the Olympia but are too small to bridge the gap to play the 3Arena.

Mr Crosbie envisages retaining the existing Vicar Street venue and upgrading it while creating a musical quarter with the 2,000 capacity venue and also a 250 seat mini-venue in the old famine school in Vicar Street.

Plans for Dublin to get new 2,000-seater music and arts venue to fill gaps in the market

Harry Crosbie has unveiled plans to build new concert venue twice as big as Vicar Street in Dublin’s Thomas Street

Reopen the Isaac Butt. But yeah, sure. Seems alright. Venue for a party in December anyway.

Well not really.

I wonder if they'll let the Molyneux Yard ponies graze in The Square. If the locals aren't happy about 1200 people leaving the venue, how will they feel about 3540?

I am in favour of more venues but they really need to fuck off with naming random bits of Dublin “quarter”.

It's strange word.

It's because the romans used to actually devide the city in 4 and it stuck.

Carraroe in Galway, which is not a city and more a pile of stones half in the sea is the red quarter, an Cathrú Rua.

It also annoys me that a city can have any number of quarters rather than 4 or 0.

I think if it is a name that has a historical significance to it, great. Modern marketing bullshit? Fuck that.

Are they annexing that football pitch behind the venue?
