Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7If you happen to drive down o'connell street you cannot pull over for some shopping, you have to use one of the carparks. Jervis, Ilac, and that wee one near jervis are not accessible from o'connell street so disruption on o'connell street should not affect them. the only one really affected is arnotts. If the disruption were to leave the footpaths free it should not impact greatly on business, i also doubt the stage will run lengthways down the street so in theory pedestrian access will only be mildly disrupted. Any business owners have been so disrupted by other works on the street that a few days more will not create new problems with which they have not learned to operate. It makes no sense to say it will disrupt business it is far more likely to disrupt traffic in the area. therefore i suspect that business's in the area are not the ones who made this protest. That explanation for cancelling the event in that location is a little bit flimsy, i wonder what the real reason it. Also it would surely serve the authorities to fence off o'connell street for the purposes of a concert, thus depriving any protest of a substantial mustering area. Its all a bit confusing could it simply be that trying to run anything in this country becomes very confusing once all the red tape has been discovered.
yeahhh......looks that those grassrooters are gonna have the streets to themselves.
makes the whole idea behind reclaim the streets a massive one to play up..whos streets our streets..no permission from business needed!!!!!
Another example of the Lawlor school of planning.
Lets throw a party for all the new nations coming in. Lets invite all of Europe months in advance.
Then one month before, after all the advertising has been on the screens for weeks, decide to see what the arrangements are.
Then on finding out, cancel the gig and blame it on the BBC.
Fucking muppets!
I've never heard of a concert on O Connell Street, what about College Green with screens up and down Dame Street. I reckon they just don't want big crowds about. Wonder why that would be???
I hear the real reson for the cancelling of the 'party' was that the govt feared huge numbers of demonstrators attending it and ruining the image of Ireland being a nice pro EU, pro Bush country.
asfar as i know the "protestors" had no intention of going near the the beautiful night out, they were going do their own thing , you can hardly get you point across to people about the social injustices in the world with samatha mumba blasting over loudspeakers
wont have to worry about taking drink off teenagers and they can concentrate on beating the shite out of peaceful protestors. yay.
