Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are being installed across the north Dublin coastal town of Malahide, to combat potential antisocial activities, ahead of the resumption of outdoor dining and pedestrianisation over the bank-holiday weekend. The pedestrianisation of New Street in Malahide, which sparked a concerted campaigned of opposition before it was rescinded last September, will be reinstated on Sunday, ahead of the lifting of restrictions on outdoor dining on Monday. Fingal’s beaches had been busy during last weekend, but there had been no significant public-order problems associated with large gatherings, he said. “If it was just for outdoor dining, I think that would be a very narrow idea of what constitutes an outdoor summer. It will be family orientated, as well as appealing to older couples, and people of all ages.”
