I'm sure the little tourists and visitors know what a sex shop is and one shop on the main street isn't going to suddenly implode the whole tourist industry of a city. I say fair play to them for opening and taking the risk in setting up a business. I suppose criticism from goody two shoes is inevitable for a shop of that nature but I don't think it deserves a thread.

I've seen like beautiful place can be ruined by cheap "Las Vegas" like style in place called Bundoran. Lovely beach and everything and nightmare little ugly town.

UrbanSea wrote: » Fair enough,that's an opinion. Are you against it being in Galway in general or is it just that it's shop street?
softmee wrote: » Just that it's shop street, but i am not fan of sex shops anyway. I just think plastic penises and stuff like that are for sad people.
Buisness start up wrote: » To my absolute horror today when walking down Shop street I saw that an adult shop had opened up. Shop street is the jewel of Galway city and I am extremely disappointed that the city council have allowed this to happen. Also I saw that in my opinion a few very tacky looking shops have opened up in shop street. Surely the integrity of this street should be maintained?

I just think most of you just dont get it and you havent been to really well maintained towns where history and general appearance is keept in order and people think those towns are beautifull but dont understand why ( and they are because they dont allow there things like that to happen).
