City Centre Traders Alliance claims proposal would cost capital’s economy €400m a year, with luxury store among its members
The plan, which will create bus gates at Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay and aims to take a lot of the car traffic out of the city centre, was due to be implemented in August.
A number of groups led by the Dublin Commuter Coalition, the Dublin Cycling Campaign and An Taisce want the plan implemented on time and on schedule. “We hope that Richard Shakespeare gets this message today. The people want this plan. We don’t want big business interfering in our local democracy any more,” he said.
