More than 160,000 people came into Dublin city centre each day this week following the easing of Covid-19 restrictions with the numbers climbing steadily between Monday and Friday as more retail outlets opened for business. According to figures released by business umbrella group Dublin Town and Dublin City Council the busiest time for shoppers was between 11am and 3pm each day while the newly installed public toilets across the city were used 1,400 times each day. ‘Over the course of the week it’s been great to see people come back to the city centre,” said Richard Guiney, chief executive of Dublin Town. She also repeated the NTA’s call for people to wear face coverings or masks while on public transport. People are being asked to observe the request to ease the city open, plan visits and to be mindful of others.
