Dublin City Council is planning pedestrianise Merrion Row, Mary Street and part of Capel Street on a trial basis this summer in order to facilitate outdoor dining.
Hugo's Restaurant on Merrion Row have been calling for the pedestrianisation of the area for some time and formally proposed the idea to Dublin City Council earlier this year.

The scheme will be aimed at helping restaurateurs back on their feet, once restrictions ease enough to allow for outdoor dining, and to draw Dubliners back into the city centre.
Last year, a number of streets in the Grafton Street area were pedestrianised in a system that was roundly praised by business owners and the public alike.
