No Parking = No City

[Hank Scorpio]

Yeah, the usual avoidance of questions you don't fancy with a false equivalence thrown in and more insults.

'Plenty of transport options'/streete  parking, lol. 'Copenhagen' , yeah totally comparable to Cork. 'Victor Meldrew', ho ho ho.

Get back to me when you fancy talking like a grown up.

No facts, no data just "Things are terrible".......or "It was all fields around here in my day"........."everything is wrecked"..........

Nothing to back any of it up of course.

But anyway...................

The ones who have all been consulted and involved and fully supportive from day 01? (Princes St first way back in the 1970's)

Cork Business Association president Eoin O’Sullivan described the pedestrianisation of the 17 streets as “very positive news”. Referencing the outdoor gatherings that occurred in the city over the bank holiday weekend, he said that the plans would allow people to meet in more controlled environments, such as dining outdoors.

As I said you have nothing.

Oh goody more copy and paste. Eoin O'Sullivan a food wholsesaler based in......Wilton, offering his opinion on pedestrianisation. How insightful.

But Tim Mulcahy whose business is operating in the centre of town for 60+ years is to be simply ignored? Especially when he directly lists the removal of parking spaces as a contributory factor to the decline of business in town.

Along with another second generation printing business owner telling you that the removal of loading bays is making business that much more difficult. Simply ignored.


You have nothing m8. Just straw man gibberish and copy and pastes of your Google searches. Any original thought you try to put forward is littered with spelling mistakes.

Less sneering, more time taken to prepare an argument m8. You'll look less of a tit. Hope this helps.

Still no facts, statistics and data Dan, just your anecdotal waffle and opinion.

Cork's outdoor dining and pedestrianisation experiment to continue​

First introduced as a lifeline in 2020 for hospitality businesses struggling with covid, pedestrian-friendly environments will expand.

“As chairs and tables were coming off trucks on Princes Street that first day three years ago, people just sat down. There was a huge response to it, and it’s developed to become nearly iconic in Cork,” said publican Paul Montgomery.
Now almost three years since a web of city centre streets were claimed back for pedestrians and outdoor diners, he is one of countless business owners who have reaped the rewards of the ‘reimagining’ of Cork city.

More copy and paste. Have you any thoughts that are your own?


Yeah, 'Monty' a guy who is co owner of a pub on Princes Street is happy with free outdoor seating outide his premises. What an impartial revelation that is.

We've already heard from several posters here about the inconvenience of trying to navigate the footpaths on Princes Street since this was introduced. Not to mind the problems posed for wheelchair users.

Id like to hear from the likes of Cork Art Supplies and Ger Mccarthy glassware and trophies as to how Rue Princes has effected the footfall of their businesses.



All of which is besides my point. Neither Princes Street or Oliver Plunkett Street were pedestrianised to accomodate cycle infrastructure. But to borrow a Matlock-ism you already knew that.




I will ask you one last time (you won't answer of course)


1)How has the removal of vast swathes of onstreet parking and loading bays improved business in the city centre?

2) How has creating choke points at numerous traffic arteries throughout the city improved business in the city.
