This is not just a trick of the zoom lens. The crowds in town on Saturday were like those around Christmas. Christmas lights are already up, but not lit, and there was an urgent air about the place.
This is the second shot of this scene and it turned out much better because of the human touch - the faces in the crowd.

But I find them in general, too resharped with over-resaturated colours.
I know, I'm waiting you to say "Irish weather ..." :-D
Anyway, good job ! Continue ;-)
As for over-sharpening, there good reason - noise reduction and high ISO. Light was very bad so it's been blurred a little to hide some of the ugly noise.
I will take your comments on board though, and try to be a little more imaginative in how I process my photos!
