Key streets in the South of the City will include Clarendon Street, King Street South, South William Street, Stephens Street and Dawson Street and in the North of the City planters will feature on Cathal Brugha Street, Parnell Street West, Middle Abbey Street and Lower Abbey Street amongst others.
Commenting on the upcoming arrival of the new floral displays Richard Guiney CEO of Dublin City BID, said “We are delighted to introduce a few hints of colour to the streets of the city. The new planters will be visually impactful and are to be enjoyed by both Dubliners and tourists alike.
