Dublin City Centre Shoppers Association appeal to City Council

it was obvious that the shoppers association was either a joke or not an actual shoppers association as much as a shopkeepers secret soc..

"It's only a matter of time before traders start losing business to out of town shopping centres. For those shoppers without cars this would be a disaster as shops decide to relocate, thus decreasing choice. "

So the city center shoppers all live within walking distance of the shops they're concerned about.. or else they would have already heard of Dublin Bus, a mythical public transport system that some claim has the ability to magicvally transport people to places far far away

there should also be a minum speed of 3 mph enforced by a special force of attack dogs and snipers with some kind of stun guns.
Also if yoy step foot on any of the aforementioned streets it should be manditory to sopend at least 20% of the contents of your purse/wallets on overprced shoddy goods made by at least a semi evil corporation

Who exactly are the Dublin City Centre Shoppers Association? How many members do they have? how does one become a member? What is the address of their headquarters? What is their mission statement?

Or is it just a group set up by city centre businesses to push forward their own agenda?

People are entitled to dawdle wherever they like, and take photos wherever they like. There's more to the city centre than shopping you know!
