Poor weather deters bargain hunters
Trade in shops on quieter side streets appeared very tame as bargain hunters restricted their movements to shopping centres and retail hubs such as Opera Lane, just off St Patrick’s Street, where endless streams paced between neighbouring fashion outlets.
After finding a hard-sought city centre parking spot, Maurice and Claire Coughlan from Monkstown were heading around to see if there were any bargains to tempt them. “It’s good to see the snow gone, at least the shops should pick up now. It was really tough on them, but hopefully they’ll pick up in the next couple of days,” Mr Coughlan said.
