Robin Gill: The Irish chef behind acclaimed London restaurants returns to Dublin for a burger pop-up collab with Dash Burger This Saturday at Hen’s Teeth from 17:00 Robin Gill’s voice carries the easy lilt of someone who grew up within earshot of Dublin Bay, though his culinary career has largely unfolded across the Irish Sea.

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]
The once-reliable rail line is now making people late, miserable, and poor. For months now, regular passengers have faced delays, confusion, crowding, and rising fares. At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months […]
We know that as we head into winter, Ireland can seem a bit grim, so we decided to remind you of its natural beauty. Prepare yourselves for an onslaught of visual goodness.
1. The Cliffs of Moher. Because where else would you possibly begin such a list?
2. Well, apart from the fiercely tidal but always stunning Sandymount Strand, that is...
3. Or maybe Bray, which looks incredible by day...
The cross on top of Bray Head was actually placed there because Jesus stated in his will: "If I have to go through the whole crucifixion thing again, I at least want to have a decent view."
It's true. Check the Bible.
4. ... but even better by night
Jesus loved twinkly lights.
That's also in the Bible.
5. The beauty of the Irish coast is that it doesn't need blue skies to shine
Which is just as well, in fairness...
6. That said, it does help...
7. And even though we're only at Number 7, we're back to the Cliffs of Moher already, because wow.
8. Ireland: where the weather is such an important part of life, it even comes out to vote
9. Imagine living here, and looking out on to this view in the morning.
Like, imagine.
10. Or here. Because then you'd still have an amazing view, but you'd be able to tell people you live in a castle
And not actually be lying.
11. It even makes rust look amazing
12. Doolin, you are actually melting our insides right now
13. MELTING!
14. Yes, we're back at the Cliffs of Moher again.
And we're not sorry.
15. Let's look at that from another angle, shall we?
While we're here, like.
16. Skerries. Because the east coast can kick ass too, y'know
17. That boulder gets to actually live here
We want to trade lives with the boulder
18. H... for Hamazing
Okay, we're running out of captions now, but look at that SEA!
19. Sandycove, you colourful beauty
20. Seriously, where else would you get it?
21. Let's just go live at sea
But then we wouldn't be able to look at the sea. So let's stay here and just look at the sea.
22. Don't think we don't see you there, ice cream truck.
