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 […]

College life in Ireland ain’t what it used to be. A few months back it was announced Trinity and UCD had dropped in the international university rankings, which made us stop and consider just how good we had it back in the day. So take a step back in time, folks… and remember all the […]
