8 months ago a thread exploded on R/Dublin entitled “Do you have a “Third Place” in Dublin?”. Redditor “nithuigimaonrud hit the nail on the head with their response, “Dublin doesn’t really have public squares as we usually dedicate any village centres to car parking and put our farmers markets in industrial estates.” Ouch.

It also disagreed with claims that there were major flaws in how the council handled environmental checks or that planning permission was needed.

At some point, everyone has done it. The alarm went off, and your body made the executive decision to stay in bed. Maybe it was a necessary break from the relentless grind of work, or maybe Thursday night took an unexpected turn involving tequila and a karaoke machine. Either way, the sickie was pulled. The email was sent. And for the first few hours, it was bliss. But now it’s the weekend, and The Fear has set in. There’s no way to undo it. The sick-day guilt looms large.
