Dublin

Ireland, Irish Eire, is an island in the North Atlantic.

It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel.

Dublin is the largest city and capital of Ireland. It is officially known in Irish as Baile Atha Cliath. The name Dublin derives from the Irish word
Duibhlinn, early Classical Irish Dubhlind/Duibhlind, from dubh meaning "black, dark", and linn "pool", referring to a dark tidal pool.

This tidal pool was located where the River Poddle entered the Liffey, on the site of the castle gardens at the rear of Dublin Castle.

Samuel Beckett Bridge (Irish: Droichead Samuel Beckett) is a cable-stayed swingbridge in Dublin, that joins Sir John Rogerson's Quay
on the south side of the River Liffey to Guild Street and North Wall Quay in the Docklands area.

This was the second bridge in the area designed by Calatrava, the first being the James Joyce Bridge, which is further upriver.

The shape of the spar and its cables is said to evoke an image of a harp lying on its edge.
(The harp being the national symbol for Ireland from as early as the thirteenth century).

The Convention Centre Dublin (Irish: Ionad Comhdhála, Baile Átha Cliath) is a convention centre in the Dublin Docklands.

The Convention centre overlooks the River Liffey at Spencer Dock. It was designed by the Irish-born American architect Kevin Roche.

Temple Bar City Center Baile Atha Cliath october 2023

There are many pubs across the city centre, with the area around St. Stephen's Green and Grafton Street, especially
Harcourt Street, Camden Street, Wexford Street and Leeson Street, the location of many nightclubs and pubs.

The best known area for nightlife is Temple Bar, south of the River Liffey.

The area was developed as Dublin's cultural quarter and does retain this spirit as a centre for small arts
productions, photographic and artists' studios, and in the form of street performers and small
music venues; however, it has been criticised as overpriced, false and dirty by Lonely Planet.
