I was In Dublin recently and the Luas works are similar but obviously a lot larger in scale. A lot of crossing streets to pass works and crossing back again to get back the way your trying to go.

If anything it's sounds as though the contractors were carrying out nesseccary awkward work early in the morn when there is much smaller footfall. Makes sense.....

Erik Shin wrote: » Except that the centre of town is like a bomb site this morning, it just means that traffic can flow from castle st and divert down Denny st. The mall is fairly treacherous today, peopleb had to navigate diggers and ripped up pavement to get into Costa this morning, didn't look too safe... hopefully it's calming down now

Ciarrai76 wrote: » Has anyone driven up or down Denny street yet today? Looks odd with the new parking layout. Seems like so few cars there now. Nice new road though! It doesn't seem like 21 years since it was last 2 way. I thought the one way system came in much later. If that's the case, 21 years went far too fast for my liking!!

I'm planning on taking the early train to Dublin next Sunday and I noticed from the IrishRail website that in order to get there I must transfer to a bus to Cork at the train station in Banteer, and then from there, take the train to Heuston. I'm curious, because there was no mention of line works scheduled on the IrishRail website, does anyone know if that is the case?

This would be fine if they weren't all illegally parked up on the footpath & on double yellow lines! I know they aren't happy with their location at Side of Boots, but they can't just park up where they feel like it surely!?

Every pedestrianised shopping street in the world manages to get morning deliveries, it's not like there's anything ground breaking here.
