If you’re in favour of an extra hour in bed every morning, you could soon get your way. The Labour Party is calling on big Dublin firms to stagger their working hours in order to relieve pressure on morning transport services. Senator Kevin Humphreys believes that if some companies move away from the usual 9am […]

The ULTIMATE Dublin foodie bucket list is here… Writing a list like this is never going to be easy, not just for the sheer amount of time it took to put together (a very long time if you’re wondering) but because food is so subjective. I didn’t want somewhere like Patrick Guilbaud, the only restaurant […]

Nothing helps the work week go by that bit quicker than a few midweek events to help you through. Living in Dublin’s fair city, we’re positively spoiled for choice when it comes to finding things to do. But sometimes there’s so much to choose from that we end up doing the same old things every […]

Deciding on a venue for your Christmas party is one thing, but finding one that isn’t booked up yet? Well, that’s a whole other kettle of fish.

Lunch is a meal that can so often end up being unsatisfying and disappointing. It can be so easy to pick something up quickly without much thought and by the time you’re back in the office with it, you’re cursing your choices. The Lovin team has recently moved to The Triangle, in between Rathmines and […]

Forget fashionistas, this event is for the fashionmistas out there. Usually after opening with such a woeful line I’d say “I’ll get me coat” and this time is no different except for the fact that said coat will cost me next to nothing and make me look mega trendy. If you’re still with me, I’m […]

One of the most covered topics across social media and news as of late is environmental sustainability. People are becoming more aware of their carbon footprint and are trying to introduce environmentally-friendly practices into their everyday life.

Sandymount has a chequered past when it comes to a solid neighbourhood eatery. It’s perhaps suffered for proximity to the city centre – when planning a meal out it’s as easy to pop into town, meaning the restaurant scene hasn’t felt as buzzing as it could’ve.

Picking a good spot for a date in Dublin can be tough. There are so many factors to consider from lighting to seating, accessibility to the likelihood of bumping into someone you know.
