Restaurants, cafes and pubs in Dublin’s Temple Bar are devising plans to seat almost 3,000 customers outside their premises when restrictions on outdoor dining are eased next month.
Plans for outdoor tables and chairs on 17 streets in the city’s cultural quarter will shortly be submitted to Dublin City Council, which last December refused to permit street furniture in parts of Temple Bar.
âWe have spent months ensuring that the area became an enforced pedestrian area for the very purpose of having outdoor dining,â he said. âWe also got 200 chairs and 100 tables, which we distributed to our members to assist them to reopen safely and in line with public health advice.â
Emergency clearance
The council said it had allowed the street furniture in September, âas other businesses in the vicinity were closed and the council was under pressure to assist businesses in remaining openâ.
However, it said having assessed the situation, and taken into account the concerns of Dublin Fire Brigade regarding emergency access and restricted means of escape from premises, âthe applications could not be formally approvedâ.
