While […]

Don’t get us wrong, a relationship comes with a whole lot of benefits — it’s just that all the arguments make you seriously doubt if it’s actually worth the hassle. The battle of the sexes is the oldest struggle of all, and it’s one neither side can ever hope to win. This is because the […]

Summer is here and after work drinks are about to hit another level. Arms are going to be frightfully easy to twist with the good weather and heading for ‘one’ is going to escalate real quick. The best thing about it is sitting in some lovely outside location in the city and drinking a few […]

Ah, Stoneybatter. The people are friendly, the place is full of quirky characters and it brings together all of the best bits of Dublin in one small, terraced package.

Luas operator Transdev has released CCTV footage of some very close calls to remind motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to be aware when navigating the city. On their official Twitter account, Luas wrote, “Seconds could change your life. Luas reminds all motorists, pedestrians and cyclists […]

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. Having spent two thirds of my life living north of the Liffey, I committed the ultimate Dublin sin a couple of years back and began renting across the river. Joking aside, the move has been nothing short of pleasurable but it has got me thinking about the age-old […]

Ahhh to have endless wealth in Dublin’s fair city, eh? You could go where ever you liked, eat out every single evening, and live a life of #notions in complete and utter bliss. Dubliners are a funny bunch. We give out about anything and everything, and the very idea of someone you know paying […]

God bless anyone who gets off the Luas stop at Charlemont and trudges down the long, fiery path of hell in the mornings that is the Grand Canal. Yeah, it’s pretty. Suuuuure. Pretty goddamn crowded AF at 8.30am with people almost knocking you in the water as they speed ahead to grab a decaf soy […]

Dublin’s College Green will be going traffic-free this summer with a series of weekend trials. Original plans to turn the city centre space into a pedestrian zone were rejected by An Bord Pleanála last year over concerns it would have a “significant and negative” impact on bus passengers and taxis. Earlier this year it was […]

Luas passengers are facing huge delays this morning after a power failure forced a large section of the Red Line to close. The line is completely closed between the Red Cow and Saggart in both directions until further notice.
