Buskers are the only reason I go to town, I hate town itself but the buskers give it life and I could sit hours listening to them!
Guest#5 Oct 28, 2014, 22:17

its so wonderful walking through the city and listening to the people busking! it brings out the atmosphere in the city i just dont understand why they would ban that from a place! i hope they realise that suggesting this by-law was a HUGE MISTAKE !!!!!!!!

I feel very strongly about this.
Guest#8 Oct 29, 2014, 00:12
They should have their priorities on junkies not buskers. Buskers help the bloody tourism industry! JUNKIES DO NOT!

Stripping the joy out of music.
Guest#10 Oct 29, 2014, 00:17

This by law is suggested the same year that Dublin is voted the 3rd best city in the world for busking. The irony is unbearable

Guest#11 Oct 29, 2014, 00:21
They have no reason to banned people from busking on the streets of temple bar,they are what brings in the tourists and money to it. It's ridiculous carry on so it is. Don't let them take the culture away.
Guest#12 Oct 29, 2014, 00:25
Busking gives Temple Bar character. Its ridiculous that you will need a permit to entertain people/tourists etc yet not need a permit to be a junkie harassing tourists for change. Think about it . If there are no buskers , who else is going to fill those empty positions on the street ?

music is culture! dublin culture!
Guest#14 Oct 29, 2014, 07:05

Shame on the council.

While waiting to meet my brother in temple bar recently I stood opposite a busker playing a 12 string instrument. I don't know what it was called but I really enjoyed the 6 or so minutes I was waiting. That guy was good. I hope to see him again in temple bar.

Guest#20 Oct 29, 2014, 09:33
Why would you take busking away it's lovely to walk around the city and listen to people sing and play music just look at the crowds they do have around then and why because people enjoy it . If it's not broke don't fix it .
Guest#21 Oct 29, 2014, 10:54
