Dury St

A number of people have objected to the opening of Dublin's latest Starbucks on Drury Street in the city centre.

Councillor Mannix Flynn is among those who have raised concerns about the southside outlet, he objects to both the signage, and the spaces change of use. It was previously occupied by an independent men's clothes retailer which also operated a small cafe.

Mr Flynn has said that there should have been a period of consultation between locals before the opening of the cafe was approved.

Once Dublin City Council (DCC) receives such a complaint it is required to examine the concerns that have been raised.

"Dublin City Council can confirm that this operation is under investigation following complaints received about signage and change of use of the building," the DCC confirmed in a statement.
