City Council to consider permanent pedestrianisation measure at busy city street following trial period

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A trial period to assess the pedestrianisation of a busy city street during evening hours will end this weekend.

The trial at Dominic Street Upper has been in place between Thursday and Sunday for the past two weeks.

It sees barriers placed on the road between Monroes Bar and the Bierhaus between the hours of 7pm to 2am - allowing local traders to place outdoor picnic benches and tables for customers.

Following the conclusion of the trial period this Sunday, the City Council will assess if a more permanent measure can be introduced next year.

Owner of Taylor's Bar Johnny Duggan says the trial has been well received by locals and customers.
