Maybe The Nee Naw’s Gonna Save Me! Dublin Nights Help Zone Heads to Oasis This Weekend
Published on 14th August 2025
Dublin City Council is delighted to announce that following a hugely successful summer run on Camden Street, where it supported hundreds of people, 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, August 16–17, providing care and support to concertgoers before and after the shows.
The ‘Nee Naw’ will be on hand for anyone who needs help, whether that’s first aid on your way in or out, a quiet place to gather yourself, or assistance locating lost belongings. It’s there to make sure everyone gets home safe and well.
Ray O’Donoghue, Dublin’s Night-Time Economy Advisor 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 Dublin Nights Help Zone, funded by the Department of Justice, wraps up its summer pilot run this weekend. While a return is expected, details have not yet been officially announced.
As the city comes alive to the sound of Oasis and over 160,000 fans gather at Croke Park, just remember: Maybe… The Nee Naw’s gonna save you! Some might say it’s just a van, but for many, it’s peace of mind on a busy night.
The Dublin Nights Help Zone is an initiative of Dublin City Council, and part of a wider strategy to create a safe, vibrant, and culturally rich city at night. The Night-Time Economy Advisor role is currently supported by the Department of Culture, Communication and Sport, as part of a nationwide pilot programme running until 2026.
