The council finally agreed to amend the plan and incorporate protections for our markets. It has been a long and draining road to get here but your persistence forced them to listen. We won this one, though we will stay alert to ensure these words actually turn into reality.

We believe that markets are an integral part of city centre life and provide social, cultural and economic benefits to our communities.
We are asking Dublin City Council to amend the Dublin City Development Plan to include policies which value, protect and nurture indoor and outdoor markets of all types.

The days keep dragging on and this work is exhausting, but we are nearly at five hundred signatures. Please take a moment to forward this link to someone who cares about our markets so we can finally force the council to pay attention.

It has been a HUGE loss to the local Dublin 8 community since the Sunday markets disappeared from Newmarket Square. Dublin City Council needs to start caring about the people, the local, small scale economies, and STOP prioritising profit and corporate entities over its own people.
We are a small pure artisan producer, our market stall is the beating heart of our business, showcasing innovation and enterprize, help building vibrant cohesive community and driving local economy. More of this sort of thing.
I live in Dublin 8 very close to Newmarket Square. The absence of the markets in the square is tangible, the vibrant colourful bustle, the life is gone from the area. Hotels create an absence of community, community and the connections there in are lifegiving. Markets are a must.
A city will not run on mass-produced highstreet stpres and coffee chains. Our culture won't continue to exist with them. We need small, local producers and independent businesses. Losing our markets will be losing our cultural and business integrity.
As a trader the markets are incredibly important not only to make a living but to trial new products, promote our businesses and interact with our customers. Right now its like we're turning up to work but our office has gone missing.
This would have been a great event for us to enjoy during our visit to Ireland from the USA this year.
Market are just fantastic places to see the real local and national talent there should be a permanent venue donated by the city all major cities really hen ago abroad on holidays i and all the visitors visit the local markets at least twice

I’ve loved being part of the Dublin Flea Christmas Market. A market setting is a super way for a small beginning creative business to get a feel for their customer and get the word out. Good luck with this petition and I hope there’ll be another Christmas Flea next year.
