New Nee-Naw Mobile Unit to Provide Support on Camden Street at Weekends

A new late-night safe space initiative called the Nee-Naw is launching in Dublin City centre this Friday. The mobile safe space will be stationed on Camden Street from 10pm to 3am on Fridays and Saturdays for the next six to eight weeks on a pilot period. The initiative aims to provide support to individuals who may need assistance during a night out in Dublin City Centre, offering a calm and friendly place to regroup. The mobile space will be staffed by a dedicated welfare team consisting of a medic, a welfare officer, two trained security personnel, and a site operator.

Dublin’s Night-Time Economy Advisor highlighted that the nickname 'Nee-Naw' is meant to make the service more approachable and easily identifiable, ensuring that help is visible, stigma-free, and easy to access. The initiative is funded by the Department of Justice and is part of the national Night-Time Economy Advisor Pilot Scheme, aiming to create safer and more inclusive cities after dark.
