Dublin is lacking in spaces for people to go for traditional Irish music. 

That is according to Ciarán Ó Maonaigh, director of new Brendan Gleeson film ‘Farewell to Hughes’ - a documentary on the Dublin, Smithfield pub, closed in 2021 that was considered a mecca for trad music.   

He said: “One thing Dublin may be lacking is those spaces for people to go for tunes and a get together. It’s hard to nail down where you’d go, there’s only a couple of spaces left,”  

What do you think ?
