Dublin City Council invites applications from businesses regarding tables and chairs

In order to help businesses get back up and running, Dublin City Council would like to invite applications from those businesses interested in expanding into the public realm.

All applications will be assessed from a public health, fire safety and public circulation point of view.

Dublin City Council will be facilitating the use of the public realm for expanded street furniture provision as part of Phase 3 of the easing of Covid-19 restrictions starting the 29th of June.

Applications can be made at www.bit.ly/DCCStreetFurniture.

Where permission is granted for tables and chairs, there will be no charge for a period of 6 months, with businesses who have already paid for 2020 receiving a 6 month credit in 2021.

Please remember that at this stage in the removal of restrictions, businesses should not have furniture in the public realm as cafes/restaurants should only be providing a takeaway service.
