A €4m upgrade of Dublin's Grafton Street is planned to start early next year. City councillors agreed last night to begin the process for tenders to be ready for September.
The monthly meeting heard that the current paving for the pedestrianised street was laid in the 1980s and now has to be repaired daily. A report presented to councillors stated that the new paving would be the same grey granite as in Henry Street.
The work would take about a year to complete and be phased so disruption is minimised.
A special information meeting for councillors will be held within two weeks.
