Henry Street, Dublin, at Christmas is packed with traders and shoppers.
Aonghus McAnally visits Henry Street, Dublin, at Christmas and talks to traders and shoppers. He gets a lesson in selling wrapping paper and meets Brigid Ward, who is keeping up a family tradition of selling wax flowers.

I grew up in Dunshaughlin Co Meath back in 1985, but my Granny on my Dad’s side was a Liberties Mot, she got me the job in Superquinn Blanchardstown where she lived in Coolemine Clonsilla - I’ve been living in Manchester U.K. for 21 years, where I’ve always held an Irish passport and I came back home to Ireland and to Moore St in August 2022 - I was absolutely horrified by what I saw and from chatting to the far fewer dealers that were there, they told me that they were being forced off both Moore St and the surrounding streets - it’s absolutely disgraceful what’s going on, as the Dublin dealers are the very definition of what makes Dublin what it is for Dubliners, Irish people and visitors to our country alike

Damn right, its had a knock on effect too, so much harder to find a job and live here now that they are hiring so many migrants that they can pay pennies to while they get free accommodation in our hotels that were meant for tourism. If you aren't aware, look up whats happening in rosslare and also today in Roscrea, protest today because their main hotel has completely been changed to house only asylum seekers and the town was ruined on them. its mayhem, where are the days gone, I'm only 23 but god would I have loved to experience Ireland in the 80s and 90s@@audreyperrin320
