This isn't like a gotcha piece or, you know, and I think it's worth reading the description in its entirety, the entire chapter.
Like, you know, I do describe it as a hive of activities during the daytime.
It's busy, it's full of energy, it's a vital commercial and transport artery for the city.
But then it's also worth noting something that we Dubliners recognise and that things change over the course of a day and O'Connell Street just isn't an exception.
At night, it can feel like a very different place.
You know, and I think that's something that I need to reflect.
No, no, absolutely not.
But then, like, the thing is, Lonely Planet is a guidebook for visitors to Dublin.
It's not a forensic social analysis of Dublin, the city.
And so I can't, you know, and I have a certain amount of words and a certain amount of space.
So what I try to do is I try to give an overall impression
And again, I think it's really trying to be as accurate and as fair as I possibly can.
Again, I'm not trying to do the city down.
I'm not trying to create conversations like this one.
But at the same time, I do feel that it's incumbent on me and I owe a responsibility to my readers to try and reflect exactly what kind of experience they might have when they come to Dublin.
Of course it is.
I mean, I don't mean this in a kind of silly throwaway play.
I'm a Northsider.
My father was born 100 yards from O'Connell Street.
Of course it's sad.
