    Cannot understand how the two derelict shops beside the Roisin are not boarded up and some paint applied to them, it must look terrible to the tourists who visit there, very run down looking that part of the West.

    it's part of the "seedyness" vibe that you would get going up along that street. It adds to the vibe of the area, and keeps the "shiny people" away - thus leaving it for the people that appreciates good music, food, atmosphere and craic without the "we all look the same" conversations and nonsense that goes on up town.

    If they turn it into a brand new "shiny" area, it will go downhill fast. :D

    Hmm, I dunno. It's a pain in the h*le at night to drive/walk/cycle past the stretch the Róisin is (mainly of the narrowness of the road not just the seediness!), whereas the walking up past Bierhaus, Blue Note etc has a great craic vibe without the same feel. I am with you on the anti-shiny sentiment to a certain extent, but the area that has had a bit more tlc, say up by Crane/Old Forge has a better feel *ourdoors* imo.

    Just discovered who owns the Ideal Drapery shop
    Mr Davoren also owns numbers 9, 10 and 11 Dominick Street Upper – the ‘Ideal Drapery’ and adjoining premises beside Róisín Dubh

    Same individual owns 57/56 Shantalla Road.
    https://maps.google.ie/maps?q=57+Shantalla+Road,+Galway&hl=en&ll=53.273014,-9.071872&spn=0.000521,0.002964&sll=53.271777,-9.061446&sspn=0.004626,0.011855&oq=57+s&hnear=57+Shantalla+Rd,+Galway,+County+Galway&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=53.273013,-9.071872&panoid=RaWtUk7-2lGe33USK6XnzQ&cbp=11,220.15,,0,0

    Sad to see this street in such decline. Remember when it was the village centre of Shantalla with Bakery and a Butcher.

    See my post above. Rouge owns it.
    They lease it.

    I see in the Advertiser that 51 Dominick Street is for auction on July 26th with an AMV of €475,000. This being the former home of Cava, now home of Dela.

    To shed further light on the Cava situation, the ad says that the sitting tenant has a 25 year lease dating back to 2007, currently renting at €60k PA.

    Meanwhile, where Aniar is located is renting at €18,200 on a 10 year lease dating from 2011.

    So Aniar are paying just €350 per week?!

    Easy enough to make a profit at that rate.

    So Mr Davoren owns 9,10 and 11 Dominick Street upper. Are any of those in good repair ?

    You'd wonder why they aren't sold, it's a pretty good location.

    Dunno, they are good example why the Council need to introduce rates on empty commercial premises. He would be forced to either lease them or sell them, which would inject new life into the area.

    Has anyone noticed the amount of discarded chewing-gum on the road surface?
    It's unreal, it appears to be done deliberately over time.

    that's been there forever, it further cheapens look of the place on top of the abandoned buildings, sex shops, cheap unmaintained shop fronts, greasy footpaths.... an architectural gem is Dominick St.!

    This used to have sweets and stuff in the window but I never went in to see what exactly they sold and what the set-up was. Anyone know what they sold, for how long and when did they sell up?

    On the market again.
    No. 51 (Dela) now seeking €600k
    No. 53 (Aniar) €350k
    Rents remain the same.

    Dunno how Dela turn a profit with rent of €1150pw rent to pay
