'There's more life on the street': EU presidency barriers on Castle Street down for the summer

BARRIERS BLOCKING DUBLIN city’s Castle Street, where Dublin Castle is located, have come down for the rest of the summer. The barriers were first erected three streets surrounding the castle, including Castle Street, on 23 June in preparation for the kick-off of Ireland’s six-month EU presidency. Meanwhile, security measures remain in place on Ship Street Little and Ship Street. Castle Street, Ship Street Little and Ship Street Great are three streets that have been closed as a result of the presidency at Dublin Castle. On Castle Street, tourists roamed, and groups gathered to look through the gates of the castle.
