Went down yesterday. Was completely empty so just ended up walking in and out the back door.

Yeah the organizers are doing an awful job at promoting this

Merrion square is definitely square.

You haven't looked at a map recently. It's not square at all! And it's definitely not an open square, big fenced off garden in the middle of it.
Here's an open city square.



Lots of european cities have them, great for events like fanzones, christmas markets or summer festivals.

In the Dáil, Labour leader Brendan Howlin called for the establishment of a fanzone, like other European cities, to allow everyone to watch the next match.

"We've done it for the All-Ireland, we've done it for the marriage equality referendum," he said.

Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald said the Government would "certainly approach" the relevant authorities and said the facilities that were erected for the same-sex marriage referendum could be replicated.

Looks like it may be a goer after all

Looks like it's set to happen in Smithfield Square

A fan zone and large screen will be set up at Smithfield Square to accommodate fans looking to watch the match, Labour Dublin City Councillor, Rebecca Moynihan, told TheJournal.ie this afternoon.

Wont be alcohol permitted at it, may change the amount who go and people. Imagine that would make it more of a family friendly thing than anything too wild.

Cheers for the heads up was considering risking going to this as I saw large numbers at the second match on facebook. Think ill go else where. Blackbird is my local and have two large screens and plenty of regular tellys just feel theres better atmosphere to be had else where.

may go back to the mercantile unless anyone else has any other suggestions?

I kinda like the idea of that! There'll still be a great atmosphere.
