A vibrant Dublin nightclub has confirmed its closure with immediate effect.
Tramline on D'Olier Street first opened to the public seven years ago. The nightclub was a popular haunt amongst students and older rockers alike.
Staff made the announcement on Instagram earlier today. They said that price gouging and outdated licensing laws influenced their decision to shut.
Tramline wrote in a brief statement: "It is with great regret and sadness that we announce the closure of Tramline. The pandemic together with the costs now associated with running a business in Ireland are the reasons for this regrettable decision today."

The nightclub thanked staff, including DJs and performers, for their hard work over the past seven years. They also praised campaigners from 'Give up the Night' for their tireless efforts to reform licensing laws in Ireland.
People took to the comments section to voice their sadness at the news. Other businesses also paid tribute to Tramline underneath the post.
O'Reillys Bar wrote: "Tramline is an amazing venue and brought a lot of traffic to our part of the city. We have always had a great relationship with Sean Clive and all the staff, we wish you all the best and hopefully you guys won't be closed or gone for too long."
Crumlin artist Jazzy added: "Some great nights had in here, sad to hear this."
