BERNARD SHAW RELOCATED TO CROSS GUNS BRIDGE

THE BERNARD SHAW RELOCATED TO CROSS GUNS BRIDGE

I must admit that I am impressed that the owners managed to relocate a "landmark pub" from South Richmond Street on the Southside to Cross Guns Bridge on the Northside and I actually met two people who claimed that it has always been located at its current location. I assume that most people have forgotten the tweet that insulted Northsiders.

There was a big fuss when the management of the Bernard Shaw pub on Dublin's Richmond Street announced it will close "for good" at the end of October.

One journalist described the closure as cultural desecration, not far off the theft of the Elgin Marbles.

I visited the Bernard Shaw on South Richmond Street on the day it ceased and a number of people told me that it was a disgrace that old traditional Dublin was disappearing. Having lived in the area for many years I pointed out that the Bernard Shaw only opened about thirteen years ago and that many locals had objected to the planning permission because of noise pollution they were not at all pleased.
