We’ve all enjoyed the lifting of restrictions over the past few months. Life got back to some semblance of normality with days out, sports, family occasions and restaurant trips. It gave us a bit of a summer. However, the situation in Dublin has changed. It’s now vital that we all take immediate steps to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the capital, which according to NPHET, ‘is spreading rapidly’. The latest guidance is available on Gov.ie and this Irish Ti

Only a short stroll from the city centre, Dublin's Docklands is an exciting bustling area with plenty of options for a great day out. From the chq Building, home to the EPIC Irish Immigration Museum, shops, cafés, and a microbrewery over to BrewDog's Dublin outpost on Capital Dock. Learn about the Irish Famine Story on the Jeanie Johnston, or if you're feeling energetic, there's always kayaking on the Liffey. One thing's for sure, you won't be short of options in the Docklands.

The Liberties is a neighbourhood rich in heritage, community and craft. Join us for a coffee at Two Pups, a tasting tour to Teeling Whiskey Distillery, shopping at Jam Art Factory and a browse through the Liberties Market. You're never short of options in this colourful part of the city.

With so much to see and do on Dublin’s Northside, you’ve got to get out and enjoy it.

Businesses, museums, galleries and attractions in Dublin have taken a further step to re-open in line with phase three of the Government’s Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business. Hotels, cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, salons, gyms and pubs which serve food are amongst the businesses that have re-opened. Here’s our FAQs for getting the most out of a trip to town: Can I take public transport to the city? At present, the government is advising to avoid using public transport where possible. If you can walk or cycle, please do. If you’re bringing the car,

Three feelings sum up the Arts Sector’s response to COVID–19. Firstly, a feeling of doom and nothing seeming to work. Secondly, a sense of paralysis, coupled with a curiosity about what might work. Thirdly, there’s an optimism about the future, and a fierce determination to survive and thrive in this trying time. I don’t think these feelings are confined to the Arts Sector, of course, and these feelings alternate with each other even over a single day. Arts organisations are faring better than individual artists. Jobs have some protection, but freelance work sadly does not. Individual artists that have very low incomes, in any case, have lost al

Their aim is to create a gallery of 200,000 ‘Doortraits’ to support the 200,000 people living with Cancer i
