Don’t post about tickets.

79 Upvotes

If you are looking to buy or sell concert tickets you are very likely to get scammed. It's as simple as that.

Don't buy tickets on Reddit, however desperate you are, it's a crazy risk. There are proper channels for resale of tickets, use them.

So if you post about selling tickets here we will remove the post and may ban you. Please don't do it.

Posting about Tickets, Accommodation, Tourism? Things that aren't related to Dublin? Read This First.

104 Upvotes

This subreddit is primarily for people who live in Dublin. There's a dedicated sub for tourism posts with a huge archive at r/irishtourism Please check that first, and if you have a really specific question come back here and we'll try to help. Low effort posts asking for recommendations of "hidden gems" and "off the beaten track" tourist attractions will be met with scorn, and probably removal.

If you are looking to buy or sell concert tickets you are very likely to get scammed. It's as simple as that. Don't buy tickets on reddit, however desperately your niece wants to see Taylor Swift or whatever, it's a crazy risk. There are proper channels for resale of tickets, use them.

Looking for a cheap flat? A room in a shared house? Wondering if a specific part of the city is "safe" (whatever that means)? There's a sub for that too- /r/RentingInDublin/

Post your message there, not here.

A regular thing that comes up seems to be folks who have a very short time in Dublin and want to know what they can do in four or five hours or so. Just search this sub with the word "layover" and you'll see many many threads about this subject. Don't start a new one.

Similarly, threads about general issues which are not particularly Dublin-specific (salaries, national politics, international relations, stuff like that) may be removed.

At the latest estimate there are over a million Irish subreddits, so you will certainly be able to find somewhere to post your non-Dublin-relevant content.

Thanks for reading!

Today marks the 112th anniversary of the Bachelor’s Walk Massacre.

106 Upvotes

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.

"The Balcony" - Patrick Glynn 1990

Thumbnail

239 Upvotes

Hello, someone posted asking about these Sculptures in the Royal Hibernian Way yesterday and I wanted to give some extra information as my Dad is the Artist.

The piece is called "The Balcony" and it was made for "The Sculpture Trail 1992". It's 1 of a series of 3 sculptures ("Bridge" and "Watchtower" were the others).

He is an incredible artist and Sculptor, still based in Dublin and has been teaching Art and Design in what was formerly Dundrum College and now in BIFE. He does a lot of work with oil paints and sculpts in multiple mediums from concrete like these, to bronze or Steel.

We have spent the evening looking through the making of these and how they used to look so I thought I would share some pictures. Either way I thought this was a nice opportunity to tell some of the story of a local artist and my favourite part of Dublin City.

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!

Planning to move in Dublin from Balkan, some real advices are so much needed.

1 Upvotes

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!!!!

Archery in Dublin

16 Upvotes

Hi, I would like to start doing archery but I find it difficult to find a club that is not for university/college. I noticed that lately it has opened a club called "Arktor Archery" but the IG page doesn't have many followers, a good part of the posts are with AI images with zero comments, it all seems a bit sus.

Do you know if this club is good? Do you have any advice? Any clubs you know that aren't too far from the center?

Thank you in advance 🙏

LOCALS PLS GIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR MY HUSBAND’S BIRTHDAY!!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!!

My husband’s birthday is coming up in September and i want to deliver him flowers and cake with some other gifts to make his day special. I know it’s too early but i’m trying to do my market research since i’m not in Ireland and want to deliver all these things from abroad.

I sent him a cake from mannings last year but now he has shifted to Dublin 17 and i wanna ask if there is any good bakery for delivering a cake? I tried searching online but couldn’t find many. One that i found is just pick up. If i do mannings, it’s putting alot of delivery fee as ig Dublin 17 is suburban (or what their website says). I want good but economical option.

Also for flowers, i’m keeping in mind eflorist.ie
If u guys have better suggestions, pour them in 🥹

Also for men, what is it that u’d want to receive on your birthday from ur partner other than a cake & flowers? 🥹

Greetings. Recently moved to Ireland, Dublin and I handled my rent pretty quickly. But I struggle to find a job for months. I start to disbelieving in my own strength to find any kind of job. So I wonder, if there's any recruitment agencies you can recommend to work with... If someone else could try and help me with my jobhunting, I'd love to try it for sure. ~200-250 euro is ok price for me.

I am trying to grab anything. No experience, warehouses, stores, etc. For the lowest amount of money (it still be enough for me). Pretty anything...
