URGENT! The Dublin Flea Market needs your support!!
The Dublin Flea Market as well as six Dublin 8. community markets are in jeopardy! There are three planning applications lodged by local developers to redevelop Newmarket Square. They propose the demolition of the Dublin Food Co-op, the Green Door Market and and the IDA block. They intend to replace them with a brewery, offices, retail spaces, a high rise hotel and a small 265sqm indoor market (presently the Co-op and Green Door comprises an area together of 1850sqm) There is very little community or cultural use at its core. This is a call out for support. Dublin Flea Market is lodging 3 observations in relation to the planning applications. We are asking for a higher percentage of cultural/community use and a possible space to continue to trade out of. We are asking for your support. We are submitting our observation next Tuesday 8th August, (the deadline for applications) and need as many signatures as we can get.

I set up this market to build a home for our community and seeing this growth reminds me why we must fight for our space. We are just shy of one hundred signatures so please blast the link out to your groups right now to help us clear that hurdle.

I have spent years building a home at the market and seeing these plans threaten our survival is gutting. We need to hit that one thousand mark to show the council that our community is too big to be ignored. Get this link to your neighbors so we can protect this space before the deadline hits.

yet another hideous, derivative, culture-killing re-development of an area that has been growing and changing at its own pace into something beautiful, engaging and inclusive. Nothing about this development supports these concepts.
I am from the U.S and came to Dublin as a graduate student last year. The Dublin Flea Market was such a unique experience and the sense of community I felt there was truly amazing. Keep the flea market as it is keeps the soul of the city intact!
The Dublin Flea Market hes been a hub for the creative community in Dublin for years. It provides entrepreneurial opportunity for creatives and other makers and do-ers around the city. Its an inclusive, open and friendly place for people of all ages & backgrounds.
I would hate to see this go, it's a livelihood for a lot of traders and it would be a shame if they lost that. New developments are happening all over the country, but there is no need to wipe out others in the process. Let's all work together for a better future.
I can't imagine Dublin 8 without the Flea Market and all of the community markets in Newmarket Square! It's such an integral and unique part of the community. Look at sterile and soulless Smithfield as an example and reject this proposals!
Another part of my city will be torn down to fill the pockets of our Tory government and their fat fingered corpullent private school mates.stop them.greed,cronyism,disregard of the people and myopia is subjugating the masses.nothing has changed since we left gained independence
The tours like the Flea and the bro. Lot of people out there like it. Dublin needs a Market.

The only good market in Dublin, I work in a hotel & guests always ask if I can recommend a good market I always suggest the flea, brocante, green door and combine it with a trip to Teelings. I also spend many lovely Sunday afternoons rummmaging myself.
