Meet the new Night Mayor of Dublin (Nialler9 Podcast)

Avatar

Niall chats to Ray O’Donohue, the recently appointed Night-Time Economy Advisor for Dublin City.

What is a night mayor?  A night czar? A night-time economy advisor?

Well, my perception of what it entails is someone who advocates and advises local city council policy and decision-making on what is required in order to make the city more liveable at night, more culturally rich, safer, and to be the glue between various communities like venue owners, promoters, night time economy workers and those who make decisions around how the city operates at night time. 

But we’re not going to take my word for it, we’re going to talk to Dublin’s first night-time economy advisor Ray O’Donohue.

O’Donoghue is known for his work in events and the Sea Sessions festival, before his appointment in April. Last week, Dublin City Council shared its Night-Time Economy Strategy – “a comprehensive plan designed to cultivate a thriving night-time culture in our city”, spearheaded by Ray O’Donoghue and supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media.

So, I talked to Ray about his plans to help Dublin night-life, and what we can expect from the role for Dublin city’s night-life economy.
