moore street

Running from Henry Street to Parnell Street is Moore Street, famous for its colourful street traders with their fruit and vegetable stalls. Their street cries and banter are pitched in a particularly broad Dublin accent which is widely celebrated. Up to ninety casual traders sell their wares from numbered pitches. Most are women, many of them mothers and daughters, and the friendly, but often sharp, verbal exchanges with other traders or customers (perhaps you) are part of Moore Street's attraction and folklore. Here and in Henry Street there are also traders loudly advertising goods and novelties of all kinds. Just remember that if you hear something proclaimed as 'Last of the…' it is sure to be in plentiful supply.
