This is a unique market which provides an outlet for anyone interested in arts, crafts and all things vintage. I have been many times and it attracts visitors to the area from all over the world providing a cosmopolitan and family friendly atmosphere. Don't take away one of Dublin's newest and more interesting attractions for the sake of commercialism.

This market brought me down to this part of Dublin. It makes such a contribution to the area, bringing all sorts of people together.

Hope that a larger market space is added to the plans. This facility has been amazing through the years - if you have to relocate it will be such a shame.

This would be a tragic loss to Dublin. We need to be encouraging and protecting small businesses. They are what made this area popular in the first place. Their achievement should not be the cause of their demise.

This market and general area is a fantastic contribution to the whole community of Dublin 8. It promotes inclusivity, health, wellbeing and supports local people and business. The thought that this would all be demolished for some apartments and offices is demoralising, outrageous and shows exactly what corporations think of the idea of 'community'. There are so many empty office blocks and buildings out there already. To strip a thriving area of their community and market place sums up the lack of respect and support these corporations and our government have for local people and business.

The Dublin Flea represents one of the few places within areas of Dublin city that truly evokes a sense of community. Everyone who goes to the flea is always friendly, and the atmosphere is what the world sees us to be; hospitable but with the softness of friendliness and familiarity that is so lacking in modern day urban life. Not only this, but it acts as a gateway for small, up-and-coming businesses (akin to start-ups, really) to get a foothold and customer base in order to develop as a business.
Ireland is in a state of needing expansion in terms of construction, for both commercial and residential. However, it should not be at the expense of amenities and a hub for community. I'm all for modernity, but Dublin needs to retain a sense of identity in the face of retail spaces that do little to contribute to it's area, hotels, and a brewery (which the country is close to being saturated with, and honestly, there's already plenty of alcohol-related establishments and events in Dublin, leaving non-alcoholic activities few and far inbetween). I'm not against the proposed developments, I'm opposed to destroying something that's so culturally important in any city like the Dublin Flea. Plenty of other cities have large markets as well as progressing in modernity through expansion, so why can't we?
Save the flea
This cannot happen
