The new sandstone surface on Dublin’s historic Castle Market is not permanent and people still have a chance to campaign for a return to the redbrick surface that was ripped up this week.
They are being replaced by sandstone matching the surface recently set down on nearby Wicklow, Exchequer and Drury streets.The council said the old surface had become a “trip hazard” due to the deterioration of the bricks.this morning, Councillor Claire Byrne said the council “suddenly went ahead” with the plans with no real forewarning to local businesses.She said Dubliners have a “real connection” with the cobblestones of Temple Bar and the brickwork on streets like Castle Market.
“There is nobody thinking about the aesthetics here and the cultural connection people have with Castle Market – that beautiful carriageway connecting Coppinger Row with South William Street.”
CByrneGreen NTBreakfast What? Campaign to return the surface to how it was? It was only ripped out because it was being destroyed by vehicles illegally driving into a fully pedestrianised street and zero was done to stop it. What is wrong with the people in charge of this city!
