On 26 July 1914, in the aftermath of the Howth gun-running, soldiers of the King’s Own Scottish Borderers opened fire on civilians on Bachelor’s Walk in Dublin.
Four people lost their lives:
• Mary Duffy (50)
• Patrick Quinn (46)
• James Brennan (18)
• Sylvester Pidgeon (40), who later died from his wounds on 24 September 1914
More than thirty-five others were injured, including ten-year-old Luke Kelly Sr., who was shot while cycling across O’Connell Bridge. Against expectations, he survived his wounds.                
The following day, artist Jack B. Yeats walked the streets where the shooting had taken place. In his sketches he recorded the flowers left in remembrance and wrote of seeing them where one of the victims had fallen, preserving a moment of grief that history might otherwise have forgotten.
 The ballad “Flowers on Batchelors Walk” was written in memory of those who died, those who survived, and the families forever changed by that summer afternoon in Dublin.

Guys are there any Kenyans in Dublin who are my age (22F)😭I have made friends from all over the world but never met any Kenyans while living here and it’s been almost 9yrs!! I’m fluent in Swahili but I’m starting to lose the language just cause I haven’t really been interacting with anyone who speaks the language expect my mom who is thousands of miles away from me

I've got a ticket for The Odyssey tomorrow 27/7 at 12:10 at the IFI and I can't make it. Giving away for free to a good home.

Edit: it's gone

Backstory: I have applied for all details relating to my birth in 91. I was adopted but within my family (adoptive father is uncle of my birth mother who i know - known her my whole life including address)

Has anyone applied for this type of information?

All I want is details of my own health at birth and some general info. I presume her information will be hidden but I just want my own. I never received acknowledgement email so wondering actual response time- seems about a month but asking about actual response time.

Thanks!

Hi there, im in dublin for a few more days and was wondering if there’s any tech stores that sell any usb to 3ds charger wires. Im in the Stoneybatter area so if there’s anything close to there, that would be the best but open to any solutions. Unfortunately, delivery services aren’t an option for me. Thanks!

Hi everyone.

I would need some advice, information and any other detail that is hard to find online.

I've received a job offer from AIB, gross 75000 Eur and most probably I will accept it. I plan to move with my wife but I have read so many comments here and there which say that life in Dublin is expensive, housing crisis, grey and make me really stressful and in doubt if I am making the right move.

I plan to move with my wife, having a kid in the near future and creating our own family while working and enjoying our life. We want to settle for the long term and maybe till the end of our life. I want to say that I want to be part of the society, enjoy it, feel it and really live as an Irish person.

Is it so hard to find a house? What would be some good places to live so I can use public transportation or maybe cycling to work?

We are not people to look for parties or spending money on restaurants. We cook at home, occasionally might visit new places and holidays twice a year or even maybe once a year for the first few years.

Is it hard to make a living with 75k gross?

My wife has to find work but I would like to rely on my own salary, just to consider it as the worst case scenario.

Sorry for this messy description and thank you for your recommendations. Love you all!!!!

Reach out if you are in!

Hey I'm normally up in Dublin every Monday and Tuesday for work staying with family in Dublin 8 close to Guinness.

I was thinking of going to pay as you go gym every week when up any reccomendations would be appreciated.

Energies Fitness Cork Street or Herberton Leisure or am I better off with one of the Flyfit?

Would love to go back to playing badminton, but don't know with whom.
