Dublin City Council considers banning cars from two city centre streets on trial basis

The move has been supported by Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan

Proposals to pedestrianise two streets in Dublin on a trial basis have received mixed responses.

Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan, who is backing proposals to trial banning cars from South William Street and Drury Street, believes congestion and pollution is now a public health issue: "We have seen a number of reports come from the EPA where we have serious issues around air pollution now."
