As part of the plan, private traffic will not be permitted to drive east and west along the Liffey Quays on either side of O’Connell Bridge from 7am-7pm daily from August 25th. The council has said it is implementing measures on the quays using its powers under the Road Traffic Act. Business representative group Dublin Chamber said the implementation of the plan was “good news for Dublin”.
Diageo, which operates the Guinness Brewery at St James’s Gate, was unavailable for comment on Friday. However, difficulties were previously cited with the restrictions relating to the opening hours of Dublin Port and noise restrictions imposed by the council at the brewery.
