#missingliberties

The Liberties in Dublin 8 has long been an area of significant historical importance, with many buildings centuries old and each one with a story to tell. The neighbourhood has deep-rooted traditions and yet is driven into the future, as new businesses and accommodation is built around the area. However, with all this new development, older businesses and systems are being squeezed out of the places they have occupied for years, often unable to keep up with rising costs. Gentrification and the demolition of historical landmarks has been hitting The Liberties hard - and the aim of #missingliberties is to ask: where did they go?
