The Grand Canal was left in a bad way after hundreds of people went drinking in the sun yesterday.

The Southside still has more choice but samey-ness abounds, while across the river, games are being seriously upped. We popped into the bustling One Society on a busy Wednesday lunchtime. From the moment we stepped over the threshold, it was clear we were going to be those people. I had about a million faffy extra […]

A ‘Dickensian’ proposal for a new co-living apartment building in Dún Laoghaire is receiving a huge amount of criticism. The five-storey building on Eblana Avenue would see 42 bedrooms share just one kitchen and living area on one floor.

When it comes to birthdays, anniversaries or even Christmas (I know it’s bleedin’ ages away – relax!) more often than not, a sentimental present goes far further than the usual obvious choices. A print, photo or illustration made specifically for a family member or friend can prove far better and more effective than an expensive […]
