Absolutely. I've done it many times.Do you really think people buying a lot of items are going to park in Jervis and walk to Grafton Street?
You obviously don't like walking if you think that is an issue! Do you really think anyone who comes up to Dublin for a days shopping (or visit for any other reason) doesn't walk across town? Any time we go to Dublin we would park on one side and walk across town. To suggest that you're somehow being denied an opportunity to enter the city center now is frankly ridiculous.Apparently if you are from Finglas you shouldn't be looking to shop in Grafton street or Stephens Green.
It's not rocket science Gordon. Are you really saying you cannot imagine a way to allow you to drive into a city but not traverse across it?
Then perhaps stop bringing it up, and stop pretending that plans to remove cars from parts of the city centre equates to drovers being 'prohibited' from the city.
The term woke is almost universally used in a derogatory manner, meant as a term of disapprovement often in reference to people of extreme views. I'm a long way off being woke and I'm no environmentalist, but I'm still very much in favour of significantly reducing private cars in more areas of Dublin.
What evidence do you have to support the assertion that very few people support a reduction in the number of private cars in the city centre? Most people here seem to be in favour, and AAM isn't exactly an environmentalist collective!
Only a fool would say that it is everyone.
Has this now turned into a Q&A for "The Knowledge"How do you get from, say, Clonskeagh, to Parnell St?
If you were running a coach trip of 20 people and 16 turned up for the ride home, you would leave without the other 4 because you're a fool, and I would wait for the other 4 because I'm a pedant.“Pedant in ‘it’s not everyone unless it’s 100% of people’ shocker”
I've walked across town but not when I've been carrying items that I'd need a car for. Limited to what I could carry home on a two bus journey, certainly far less than could be managed in a day's shopping at a shopping centre with trolley \ car access. And less than could be managed if I have to get it on foot from Grafton Street to a northside car park.Absolutely. I've done it many times.

R u ok hun?Did your Mammy write that for you?
No - you're not stopping them getting to parts of the city depending on where they come from. Whether you're coming from Finglas or Dundrum you can still go to the same places. Just making them take a different route.If you are stopping people getting through the city centre as outlined, you are also stopping people getting to parts of the city in a car depending on where you are coming from.
How? That contradicts other comments on the thread.No - you're not stopping them getting to parts of the city depending on where they come from. Whether you're coming from Finglas or Dundrum you can still go to the same places. Just making them take a different route.
I’d probably walk down Beaver Row and hop on a 46a at Donnybrook church to O’Connell St.How do you get from, say, Clonskeagh, to Parnell St?
Eliminate - really?There is a clear anti car agenda and drive to eliminate cars from the city. Surely you’re not disputing this?
Again, who in any position of authority is proposing a prohibition of all private cars from the cite centre?There is a clear anti car agenda and drive to eliminate cars from the city. Surely you’re not disputing this?
Stop being pedantic. When he says 'eliminate', he doesn't mean 'eliminate'. Honestly!Again, who in any position of authority is proposing a prohibition of all private cars from the cite centre?
I don't agree there is any agenda to eliminate cars, I have not seen a single elected or LA figure state that as a goal.
Not following.How? That contradicts other comments on the thread.
So how do you stop them from taking a different route to get through the city rather than merely across to another part of it?
If I can get to Stephens Green from Finglas (or Dundrum), what's to stop me driving onto Dundrum (or Finglas) ?
Lots of cities have road pricing.How do you get from, say, Clonskeagh, to Parnell St?
Bus?How do you get from, say, Clonskeagh, to Parnell St?
Indeed, when the North and South main streets had cars queing for "shopping" , the experience was, horrible and polution from exhaust terrible health wise. Today Wexford town is a thriving tourist town, and the pedestrianised Main St is very nice. One can park, and walk and yes, at Christmas time many a person can be seen humping boxes around to their cars, but at least away from the Main street.I know Wexford well and it’s a far nicer place to spend time since they restricted car access.
