Browse the Markets on Meath Street
For many, it’s the ultimate slice of authentic Dublin streetlife. Meath Street is at its most lively on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when traders crowd the street selling everything from faux designer-wear to household essentials. There are indoor markets too such as the long-established Liberty Market which anchors the street. In between there’s shops, cafes and pubs. Meanwhile, St Catherine’s Church, with its ‘secret garden’ grotto, is a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle.
New Life for Newmarket
The Earl of Meath’s old marketplace may have seen better days, but Newmarket is now undergoing a resurgence that will transform the area over the coming years. Planned development of the square will bring indoor markets and retail and a destination outdoor events and markets space. The streets off Newmarket includes some of the area's new whiskey distilleries and excellent places to eat.
