Dublin's Help Zone van to relocate to Croke Park for Oasis gigs
Dublin City Council has announced that Dublin's Help Zone van, affectionately known as 'The Nee Naw', is heading to Croke Park to support the Oasis concerts. It will be parked on Mountjoy Square from 4pm to 12am on Saturday and Sunday, providing care and support to concertgoers before and after the shows. Advertisement The 'Nee Naw' will be on hand for anyone who needs help, whether that's first aid on their way in or out, a quiet place to gather themselves, or assistance locating lost belongings. Dublin's night-time economy advisor, Ray O'Donoghue, said: 'We've shown that this service is becoming a vital part of the city's fabric. "Whether it's offering real help or simply being a visible safety presence, 'The Nee Naw' is one of several initiatives making Dublin a safer, more welcoming place at night.' The van has had a successful summer run on Camden Street, where it supported hundreds of people, Dublin City Council said.
