Bollards designed to deter terror attacks are set to be installed as part of plans for a new civic plaza for the north side of Dublin beside the Ha’penny Bridge. Dublin City Council plans to pedestrianise Lower Liffey Street following the rejection last year by An Bord Pleanála of the College Green pedestrian and cycle plaza. The council said it will not submit plans for the Liffey Street plaza to the planning board. The remainder of Liffey Street Lower and all of Liffey Street Upper, which runs from Abbey Street to Henry Street, will be upgraded to create a more “pedestrian-friendly” environment, with benches, bicycle stands and trees. “We would say to the council, you tried to do this with the College Green Plaza, please don’t do it again,” Mr Smyth said.
