Business owners in Dublin city centre have said that a more permanent solution is needed to the issue of public disorder as people try to have an 'outdoor summer'

There are concerns that, now that people are used to gathering in the city centre and drinking in the street or in parks, this pattern of behaviour will remain an issue for the summer even as hospitality and other sectors gradually reopen. Pubs and restaurants can re-open outdoor areas from Monday, but several business owners said that a lot of the people coming to the city centre were not purchasing takeaway pints – they were bringing their own drinks in from elsewhere.

The bandstand in Stephen's Green was cordoned off again this morning, after the fencing was pulled down yesterday“Following a meeting with 63 local businesses in the South William St. area on Monday the 31st May 2021 the clear request and instruction from the business community to Dublin City Council was to provide additional public toilet facilities and bins.”

Why now ? Before lockdown there was no real problem with finding a loo. I pity person who has to clean up the vomit etc. Certain pubs and clubs have fine loos but drunken patrons would leave them like sewerage pits.

What has the People's Republic of China (PRC) got to do with portaloos on Sth King St outside St Stephen's Green (SSG) Shopping Centre (SC). Dubious correlation?

Careful - Your Chinese paymasters might dock your pay for that picture

Spoilers journal, but the toilets in China aren't as hygienic as they are here. Firsthand experience squatting!

An unpredictable post for once even if...

My knowledge of China is the Chinese people are great and the Chinese Communist party is pure evil and have murdered millions at the cost of Trillions due to their Wuhan Lab . Reparations need to be paid and the CCP leaders jailed

Don't drink and tweet!

Nothing about China here😂

Is the photo of the great Wall?

Ah lads, ye might want to check that one?

Shits about to hit the fan.

Hope they're upside down proofed 😁
