Traditional traders will be allowed to stay within Dublin's Victorian fruit and vegetable market after Dublin City Council's multi-million euro regeneration of the area. City manager John Fitzgerald was responding to concerns raised by the Fruit Traders Tenants Association last week that they would pushed out of the area to make way for an up-scale food market and restaurant. A retail food market, restaurant and general "leisure" market is to be created within the Victorian market along with 600 homes and 60,000sq m of office/ retail space in the surrounding area under a major redevelopment of the markets southeast of the Four Courts.
