Apparently a compromise has been found, they're about to announce it on their social (FB: glasnevinfoodmarket).

DCC dont do a whole lot in large parts of north inner city Dublin from what I can see.

How many years it's taking them to get the Smithfield market back in action for instance.

As for that market in Glasnevin there are other units in the estate they should try to rent one or two.

I think many don't even go into the office. ;)

The old fruit and veg market was also known as Smithfield fruit and veg market..hint...it's in Smithfield. Smithfield is a very historic part of Dublin no need to try and hide where it is and try to say it's an extension of Capel St lol. Also the horse market while it was pretty wild, at least there was a large sized square there back in the day. Now the square is completely chopped up , seems to have shrunken and not very useful for civic activities. I'm very much in two minds on what they did there.

The city North and South BADLY need Smithfield and Iveagh market to open up , what a fecking joke how DCC have handled this that both are still not operating and we are going into 2024.

Couldn't agree more, let's use buildings that were designed for markets for ... markets, and stop trying to move around community life and initiatives, away from where it's mostly needed.

We also hear that all these industrial estates are going to be redevelopped into housing, which limits the interest of landlords renting out their available units.

Dublin needs housing yeah for sure, but it needs communities first and foremost. Farmer's markets should be a top priority for DCC, and 100% included in their housing development plans.

I heard last week that it was close, but any meetings between stallholders and others just ended up with people "shouting and aggressive". I'd heard that it was actually solicitors for both parties that had come to the solution but hadn't officially passed it on to the interested parties just yet, still some ironing out to be done.

It's seemingly a one year extension, so I'd expect they'll still be searching for a new venue - which, incidentally, I'd also heard they may have found close to the current venue, in the same industrial estate.

Looks like the people who are, ultimately, the owners of the lease on the building itself, are opening a shop at 48 Botanic Avenue
