Disney Store on Grafton Street struggling to get approval for controversial security gate

Planners with the local authority said they had a concern about the materials being proposed by Disney as it was important the security gate would not detract from the streetscape.

The Disney shop on Dublin’s Grafton Street is struggling to get approval for its controversial planning application to install security measures to prevent homeless people from sleeping in its doorway.

Dublin City Council has sought further information from the US entertainment giant about its plans for a sliding, open-mesh retractable security gate to the shop entrance.
