The Fruit and vegetable market should be a public amenity for the city's people, both residents and visitors. It should not fall into the hands of a private developer and end up like the Iveagh Market building has done.

An absolute shame to see this once vibrant hub of fruit and vegetable market lie idle. Every other city in Europe has an active market under roof except Dublin.

This is not only a historical landmark but part of the irish culture as market traders.

Rebecca Moynihan, a Labour Councillor for the area, along with Councillors from other party s, have come together to try to turn this idea into a realty, and a petition has been set up on Change.org to gather some public support. There is also a separate group operating a Facebook page which is campaigning for the redevelopment of this plot of land, into recreational use. You can view their Facebook page here . The Economic Development Department of the Dublin City Council will no doubt be keeping an eye on that petition, which currently has well over 700 signatories, so if you want to add your voice to this debate, you can simply sign the petition, or leave a comment too if you wish!

Very important that markets like this remain and are developed to serve the local community. This is neither needed nor suitable for development into a tourist enterprise.

Has to stay public and accessible to all comers in the market.

corporations are particularly bad fit for public provision. The competitive market forces should not apply to the Markets Area. Its should always be in the hands of our local council, its the only way to secure tradition of the community.
