Dublin City Council is 'exploring' new sites for the Dublin Flea Christmas Market

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL said it hopes that a “viable solution” can be found for the Dublin Flea Christmas Market, after organisers announced the popular event had been forced to close and will not be returning to the city later this year.

“Over the last six months we have tried our best to figure out the future of the market. We have applied for numerous grant applications, reached out to many organisations, individuals and public bodies for support,” the post said. The market said that after investigating various alternatives, all had proven too expensive and risky.

The spokesperson said that Sharon Greene, one of the organisers of the flea, should be “applauded” for her efforts in adding to the “craft, creative and cultural fabric of the city during the Christmas period”.
