    I always hated Bewleys, if people wanted it to stick around they would have actually given it their custom.

    I'd hate to see the market go though, it is part of Dublin and something unique, I'd hate the city centre simply ending up looking like a carbon copy of everywhere else.

    here does anyone remember dustins song well he only sang it the once on tele but i always remembered it.

    and she said what about breakfast at bewleys, and i said im not paying £2 for sausages.LOL

    there was one more line but i cant remember. was very funny though and that was about 6 years ago at this stage. i worked in bewleys, was a grand place to work but it was ridiculously expensive lads, you couldnt be given it your custom every single day unless you were loaded!!

    The DCC has to play it heavy on the traders, the litter problem on Moore St has to be tackled as the rotten food is a health hazard.

    On the Bewleys argument I think the nostalgia ignores the major problems it had.

    I went there fairly often but I have to say the service was dire, they provided poor quality produce for the amount being paid, and it generally came across as a dreadfully run business.

    The only thing I'd miss is the windows.

    The consumer killed Bewleys because we were tired of being ripped off. At least when other cafés rip you off you usually get something reasonably decent and then got overcharged, Bewleys overcharged for crap and the consumer punished them accordingly.

    Nah Moore St won't go, there will be uproar. Can't see Bertie being too keen on it either seeing as he's a "true dub". They were meant to redeveop the whole area a while back but not much was done, the ILAC centre next door is getting a facelift at the moment so I reckon they'll do moore st then.

    As for the prices they're paying, all of the shops around the stalls belong to foreigners and the Ladies in Moore st have been around a lot longer then they have so they can't kick up a fuss!
    as kippy as moore st is itd be sad to lose another character of the city.

    It's the multi-cultural nature of it that makes Moore St so special these days - it's my favourite street in Dublin. Loads of new arrivals starting up business and co-existing peacefully with the original businesses. I'd recommend a meal in the Korean restaurant upstairs - cheap as you like and an eating experience that you would struggle to find anywhere else in Dublin.

    Just pop in to any of the butchers or talk to the women on the stalls. Everyone is happy with the current situation. And BTW of course it's a mess at the end of the day it's an open-air fruit and veg market FFS. It's typical that the people whose responsiblity it is to clean the street are the one's who want it changed. How fookin Irish is that?

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
