“For the love of the liquor he was born” This line from the famous song ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ comes to mind when I think about my relationship with Guinness. One does not simply like Guinness. You don’t drink it as an alternative nor do you just have ‘the one’ before switching to another pint (unless […]

Ireland and its people are known throughout the world for having sharp tongues, sharper wit and a huge appreciation for the craic. And our business people are the very same.

First dates can be tricky situations at the best of times. Are you going for dinner? Or just drinks? Somewhere fancy? Or more casual? What in god’s name are you going to talk about?

Irish Rail is appealing for information after a dog got the DART into the city centre from the southside on his own this morning. The pup was discovered after getting off the DART at Pearse Station and it’s believed he may have boarded somewhere before Sandymount station between 7am and 7.30am. He’s currently being looked […]

It’s fitting that Smithfield is the home of Ireland’s first street art hotel, The Hendrick. An urban hotbed of art and creativity, it was home to the iconic Stormzy mural created by Subset – a collective that embodies the huge popularity of street art (before it was painted over in a storm of controversy by DCC).
