A squat eviction, protests over plans to redevelop the site at the Cobblestone pub and the announcements of closures of the Science Gallery and a much-loved independent bookshop. These individual events, which took place in Dublin last week, may not seem related. But for many people, they symbolise what is seen as the degradation of culture and the character of the capital city.
Sorcha Pollak talks to Irish Times columnist Una Mullally and Dublin Editor Olivia Kelly about the changing face of Dublin.
