Detailed plans for Capel Street are due in March.
95% Dubliners support improved pedestrianisation here and the Council promised to bring forward proposals to deliver that.

The pedestrianisation of Capel Street and Parliament Street makes Dublin feel like the city it has always been trying to be. Rare to experience a similar atmosphere in Ireland. pic.twitter.com/UIRjkxFmPe
