Dublin Corporation has agreed to close D'Olier Street between 7 p.m. and 10.p m. next Thursday to facilitate the official opening of the Manchester United store at the O'Connell Bridge end of the street. With Sir Alex Ferguson and a number of players from the squad among those expected to attend the promotion, a large crowd is likely for the event which will be centred around a stage erected outside the store.
