Impact
DublinTown is a collective voice for city centre businesses, delivering real change and improvements.
Through practical, tangible actions we aim to improve the city for member businesses and the public. This includes additional cleaning, Christmas and feature lighting, events and festivals, training and much more.
We also works on our member’s behalf to advocate for real change with city stakeholders, national and local government and other key decision makers.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
Without Us
No Christmas Lights
The Grafton Street Christmas lights would disappear and so will the spring summer flower decorations which attract tourists to those streets.
Less On-The-Go Support
Issues like graffiti, waste and street cleanliness would rely solely on standard public schedules, with slower response times.
Reduced Coordination
Businesses would lose a shared point of contact to escalate issues or work collectively with city services.
Fewer Events & Activity
Without collective investment, there would be fewer events and initiatives bringing people into the city centre.
