I’ve absolutely no doubt that the article I wrote a couple of years ago about Matcha helped the legal green cocaine take off here in the capital. The main supplier into the country has told me as much, and while you only used to be able to get a cup in just a few shops […]

From a Dublin point of view, the best thing about Kerry is that they provide punchlines for Kerryman jokes. But hey. We’re all about encouraging differing opinions here at Lovin Dublin. So ahead of this Sunday’s All Ireland Final, we’ve handed the keys to the site over to Graham Clifford – a proud son of […]
