Because with the end of Covid-19 finally in sight, attention is turning to what Dublin’s post-pandemic nightlife might look like. All this will mean more activity in Dublin city centre after dark, raising the obvious question of how to keep that activity safe. While night marshals may not be a runner for now, a Dublin night mayor (no pun intended) is very much on the cards. In a survey commissioned by Dublin City Council last year called Your Dublin, Your Voice, 73pc of people rated the city’s nightlife as either “very poor” or “somewhat poor”. With or without night marshals, Dublin after dark will soon be a much busier place – so the challenge for policy-makers is to make it a better place too.
