From the Carlow County Council Community Information Facebook Page:

"Take a walk down your local Lower Tullow Street this Saturday! 
Lower Tullow Street, renowned for its array of family-owned shops and eateries, will be pedestrianised every Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM throughout August and September. This transformation will create a bustling hub for outdoor dining, leisurely shopping, and vibrant hospitality. Lower Tullow Street has played a pivotal role in the history and development of Carlow town and county since 1824.
In addition to the pedestrian-friendly Saturdays, Carlow Town offers over 2,000 parking spaces, making it convenient for everyone to visit and enjoy the local shops and restaurants. The combination of ample parking and a walkable, enjoyable shopping district aims to attract more visitors and residents to the heart of Carlow."

Cllr. Fergal Browne, Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council, highlighted the benefits of the pedestrianisation initiative: "Transforming Lower Tullow Street into a pedestrian-friendly zone every Saturday is a fantastic opportunity for families and individuals to enjoy a relaxed shopping and dining experience. This initiative makes our town centre more accessible and inviting, encouraging people to explore and support local businesses."
