Stringfellows to close!
Wow! I actually get something right…remember my lapdancing column?
“ I can’t see it surviving in Ireland. These kind of places depend on droves of US businessmen and builder’s conventions to make real money. Peter Stringfellow might be able to pull in the celebrities and keep out the Stag Parties in the London venue. Apparently it’s quite the thing to be photographed with the freakish looking perma-tanned party man. But this is Dublin and despite our illusions we are a backwater. It’ll never last.”
After a mere five months, it is to close! Hurrah!

I’m not surprised. I live nearby and you never see anyone going in there. Sometimes I think there are more protesters outside than there are punters inside.

Looks like there’ll be more unused retail space on Parnell St despite the renewal strategy.
