Things are picking up at the new trial pedestrianised area around Grafton Street. Needs a few improvements but it& #39;s a million times better than the College Green trial last year. Here& #39;s a small walkthrough:
Most of these pictures were taken between 11-11:30am.
Streets are closed off with these wooden fences and not those ugly steel barriers. DCC staff directing traffic at major junctions and entrances.

Didn& #39;t spot any seating areas on South William Street but restaurants were starting to set up on Drury Street.
Grafton Street looks busier than last week but that& #39;s an entirely unscientific estimate. The rationale for pedestrianising these streets was the low footfall in the Grafton Street area.
Not a lot going on on Duke Street but lots of people sitting outside on Anne Street. Couldn& #39;t get a seat outside @coffeeangel
I know the black bollards are fixed into the road but these & #39;no parking& #39; cones should really have been removed. No need for them at the moment. And hopefully the DCC truck on Drury is gone.
@ShopPowerscourt are hosing down their steps to stop people sitting on them
