Shops busy despite absence of serious queues outside shops as sales start following 40-hour retail shutdown
At 8am, the time when, in times past, the retail sales kicked off in a bit of. a frenzy, only a handful of people wandered Henry St and a queue – if that isn’t overstating it – had formed outside just the one shop: Zara.
Across the Liffey minutes later, just three people were standing at the doors of Brown Thomas on Grafton St and none looked particularly delighted by their life choices at that moment. The woman, next in line was far more taciturn and shook her head vigorously when asked if she’d like to speak to The Irish Times.
Orna Fallon and her daughter Clodagh from Santry were just ahead of the Keoghs in the short queue and were all over the plates.
