A petition for a Nippon Town in Ireland?

Question

A partition for a Nippon Town in Ireland?

I want to have a Japanese style town, like a china town, but a Japanese one in Dublin Our Capital. Would anyone sign up for one, if we were to petition for one? I know I would love it, it would be so unique and brilliant.

Would you sign for one to be made?

Answer 1

why dublin?

dublin has everything and too much already

a lot of it should be spread out around the country

because a lot of it doesn't exist elsewhere

i'd say cork would be better

or a chinatown in Athlone

Answer 2

Up beside the ilac centre is a sort of mix of Asian people town.

Answer 3

You do realise that these type of communities are created organically, Chinese/Japanese people settle in an area & over a period of time an area gains its nickname?

If there are no Japanese in Dublin to create a community, why would you simply create one?  You do realise some people might think you're taking the p*ss.    

Would a visit to the Japanese Gardens in Kildare help?

edit: there's an unofficial Asia Town along Parnell Street with Chinese & Korean restaurants and a few Chinese shops as well as a few Japanese restaurants throughout the city.

I said people might think you're taking the p*ss, I didn't say you were taking the p*ss.

Answer 4

Not if we had to eat sushi..................

It plays havoc with our bowels............

Answer 5

There's the Japanese Garden at the National Stud in County Kildare .... good luck getting planning permission for anything in Dublin.
