Up to 3,000 diners could be seated at any one time in Temple Bar under new plans to facilitate outdoor dining from June.
The Irish Times reports that cafés and pubs in Temple Bar are planning to seat up to 3,000 customers outside their premises once outdoor hospitality resumes on June 7. The businesses hope to place tables and chairs on 17 streets in the area, under plans drafted by the Temple Bar Company.
