Cars will no longer be permitted on some Dublin city streets, and a significant amount of road space will be reallocated for use by public transport, cyclists and pedestrians under a radical overhaul of the capital's transport strategy.
The draft Dublin City Centre Transport Plan 2023, announced by Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority (NTA) on Wednesday, aims to transform Dublin city centre into a "low traffic environment" by removing two out of every three cars in the city centre which do not have a destination there.
