Welcome to Moore Street ***NEW SERIES***

Welcome to Moore Street gives a glimpse into life on one of Dublin’s most iconic streets, sharing the colourful stories of both the local traders who made the street famous, and the immigrants from many different nations who have made Ireland their home.  

Moore Street has changed hugely over the past few decades, but at the heart of it all remain the human stories: a diverse group of people that make this street what it is.  

From the fifth generation family butchers to the Nigerian fashion boutique, from the fruit and veg stalls to the Brazilian bike shop, this series gives an insight into their hopes, aspirations and challenges as they navigate work, love, loss and an uncertain future.
