Dublin’s pretty damn great for food. We’re quite literally spoilt for choice by umpteen places that offer amazing food, fab environments and reasonable prices.  Eating out should provide a pleasant experience, and one that the bank account shouldn’t always hold us back from. Thankfully there are heaps of bars and restaurants that allow us to cut the cost of dining, even at peak […]

Well you can hold your breath now for 15 minutes at least.  That was a poor start from Ireland but they have grown into the game as the half has gone on.  Twitter has been electric and seriously nervous. Here are the best tweets we’ve spotted from the first half… Sure, the Belgians aren’t that great […]

‘Twas the night before the Leaving Cert, and all through the house not a creature was studying, not even a mouse… The heatwave has come and gone, and that can only mean one thing: the Irish State Examinations are kicking off in the morning.

Looking for a new spot to check out this weekend? We’ve got just the thing… Adelphi on Middle Abbey Street opened a few months ago, but they have just recently launched a filthy new menu with loaded hot dogs served on something called ‘blaa-guettes’.

The waterslide on Dublin’s Winetavern Street has been getting a lot of attention this weekend – and why wouldn’t it? After all, it’s a whopping 260 feet long, and it’s been absolutely PACKED since it kicked off operations yesterday morning. And while today may not have gifted organisers 98fm with the sort of weather they might […]

This is worrying. As spectators gather in their thousands to watch the Bray Air Display, which is to kick off in the next half hour, a gorse fire has taken hold along the northwest side of Bray Head. The hill’s summit is a popular viewing point for the annual show, and was well populated during […]

Some traffic delays are unavoidable – but some aren’t. And that’s definitely the case this afternoon, as an otherwise innocuous breakdown on an M50 off-ramp near the Red Cow Roundabout has led to delays stretching all the way back to the previous junction? And why? Feckin’ rubberneckers, that’s why. Passengers in need of a good […]
