I'm in favour of free public transport, as long as they don't let the boggers on

Absolutely spot on.My opinion is that public transport in Ireland should be like sewage pipes: not there to make a profit, there to work with as few problems as possible and free for all paid for by tax (maybe a nominal fee, MAYBE) and also plentiful.
I suspect you may be right.I predict the newly pedestrianised Capel Street will become an insufferable, gentrified over-expensive hole that will drive out most existing residents and businesses. It's the way we do things.
Stating that on twitter is heresy.
Yeah but in the interval in between it being run-down and turning into Grafton St it'll be cool and fun. Like Temple Bar was in the early 90sI predict the newly pedestrianised Capel Street will become an insufferable, gentrified over-expensive hole that will drive out most existing residents and businesses.

I haven't been on Capel street much for years but even twenty years ago it had become unusual for having a lot independent stand alone shops and a lack of chain stores.I can't see a hardware store for example lasting too long on a pedestrianised st.
How long before people start talking about the way the sex shops are lowering the tone.

To the best of my knowledge the only chainy stuff on Capel St now is a centra and an AIBI haven't been on Capel street much for years but even twenty years ago it had become unusual for having a lot independent stand alone shops and a lack of chain stores.
If anything that's something that shouldn't be messed with.

I suppose there are multiple louis copeland's about, and a new brother hubbards in ranelagh but I wouldn't really call them chains.
Oh and Panrybar, which is part of Jay Bourke's empire.

The street is open till 11am for deliveries; I can't imagine mcquillans sell too many chop saws at 3pm anyway.I can't see a hardware store for example lasting too long on a pedestrianised st.
