Thursday 4th August we were walking about the streets of Dublin exploring sights and the landmarks in the City.
It was also a bit of a trip down memory lane as I grew up in Dublin many years ago. So a visit here was a must.
This old street was once lined, from top to bottom with fruit, vegetable and flower sellers. It was always part of the heart and soul of the City, a bustling and noisey street. The sound of the Traders bellowing out the price and quality of their wares was the voice of the City.
Sadly when we visited here today, it was such a disappointment, there were not many stalls here and the voices were quiet. It was sad to see another slice of Dublin's rich past disappearing.

This is not what I expected to see after having read the reviews of this vibrant street. If there is a market, then it is limited to a small number of merchants who are mostly selling fruit and vegetables. Furthermore, this street seems to be invaded by low-price shops and therefor attracts special groups of people who are constantly arguing.

It was filthy and dirty you would be lucky if there was 15 stalls. The street was full of beggars asking for money. The only interesting thing was a gentleman trying to save the moore street building. Honestly do not waste your precious holiday time.

This is a place to see Dublin people, selling their wares at their stalls. It is full of life.

This street is on the north side, in the centre of Dublin, and it used to be famous for it's open air fruit and vegetable market. There used to be some great characters here, flogging their wares, but now it's gone totally downmarket and dangerous. I would be familiar with most of the streets in the city centre, and this is the only one, where I would not feel comfortable and safe in. Every time I visit it gets worse. Now it's full of dodgy characters selling "cigarettes and tobacco", which is probably sourced from some eastern European country. If you want to visit, go down in broad daylight, keep an eye on your wallet or handbag, and don't buy any tobacco from the skangers! It used to be full of Irish people, not you'll find the dregs of Europe and Africa. Something needs to be done about this once famous street.

This is a seriously ugly street that has lost any charm it ever had. Despite its tame historical significance, I would be happy to see it torn down and re-developed.

Moore Street used to be the heart and soul of Dublin City. A central part of the 1916 rising and a thriving market for over 100 years. it is now badly run down with very few stalls left. With a bit of investment this are could be a big tourist attraction but its isn't.

Just on the side of Henry street.. You find locals with stalls selling vegetable and fruits much cheaper than the local supermarkets.. There is also an underground "shopping center" that I dont really like but its worth a visit if you are in the area..

It's a pity what has happened to Moore Street, it's lost a lot of the verve and character it had in its heyday and when I was young.
On a recent visit I was saddened to see how many of the street traders and old shops had gone. I remember the street reverberating to the call of fruit and vegetable vendors, fishmongers and flower sellers; the street was quintessential Dublin.
Now every second shop seems to be a mobile phone shop or computer repair joint, a sad reflection of the changing times.
People may it's just a natural evolution and that may be a fair point. But it doesn't stop me feeling sad that a little of Dublin's soul has been lost.
