Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6B8 - A campaign poster by Housing Action Now displayed on a street pole in Dublin city centre, advertising an All-Island Housing Demonstration scheduled for Saturday 5 July at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square East, Dublin 1 (D01 AX82). The poster calls for action on the housing crisis, framing housing as a political choice and urging collective mobilisation in support of communities affected by rising rents, homelessness and housing insecurity.
The Garden of Remembrance is a highly symbolic civic space in Dublin, often used as a gathering point for demonstrations and public assemblies. Its use as the meeting location situates the housing protest within a broader tradition of political expression and remembrance in Ireland's capital.
The poster references CATU (Community Action Tenants Union), a grassroots organisation active across Ireland campaigning on tenants' rights, housing affordability and security of tenure. Groups such as Housing Action Now and CATU have become increasingly visible as Ireland's housing crisis has intensified, driven by factors including supply shortages, high rents, rising house prices and demographic pressure.
Displayed against a backdrop of brick residential buildings, the poster visually connects protest messaging with the everyday urban environment most affected by housing pressures. Images like this are commonly used editorially to illustrate stories about housing policy, social movements, cost-of-living crises and contemporary Irish politics.
Photographed in daylight with legible text and surrounding urban context, the image offers strong editorial value for use in journalism, academic discussion, social policy analysis and reporting on public protest and civic activism in Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWPK - A brightly lit red and green neon Pawn Shop sign mounted on the exterior of a building in Dublin city centre, photographed during daylight hours under a clear blue sky, suggesting fair spring or early summer weather. The sign stands out against the surrounding brickwork and urban streetscape, typical of inner-city retail environments.
Pawn shops play a visible role in urban economies, particularly during periods of rising living costs, inflation and housing pressure. In Dublin, where accommodation and everyday expenses have increased sharply in recent years, such businesses are often used editorially to illustrate themes of financial strain, short-term credit, consumer debt and economic inequality.
The image captures a small but telling detail of city-centre street life, linking retail signage with wider social and economic conditions. It is well suited for editorial use in articles addressing the cost-of-living crisis, urban deprivation, household finances, and the changing character of high streets in Irish cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWR2 - A vivid red neon sign displaying the phrase Twenty First Century's Yesterday mounted on an exposed brick wall inside Bruxelles, a long-established bar on Harry Street in Dublin city centre. The sign glows under warm artificial lighting, creating a distinctive evening atmosphere typical of Dublin's nightlife and pub culture.
The image is taken indoors, with no natural daylight visible, suggesting night-time or late-evening trading hours. The saturated red neon contrasts strongly with the dark brick background, giving the scene a retro, slightly underground aesthetic associated with music, arts and alternative culture in the city.
Bruxelles is widely recognised as a cultural meeting place in Dublin, frequented by musicians, artists and writers over many decades. Interior details such as this neon sign contribute to the venue's character and are often used editorially to illustrate stories about Dublin nightlife, urban culture, hospitality, music scenes and creative spaces in Ireland's capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWW8 - The Jeanie Johnston, a full-scale replica of a nineteenth-century Irish emigrant ship, lies moored on the north bank of the River Liffey in Dublin, viewed here from the south bank. The scene is photographed in daylight under a blue sky with scattered cloud, suggesting mild spring or early summer conditions typical of fair weather in Ireland.
The ship's tall masts, rigging and traditional wooden hull stand in contrast to the modern glass and brick architecture of Dublin Docklands, reflecting the city's blend of historic memory and contemporary regeneration. Calm river conditions and soft natural light enhance the clarity of the waterfront setting.
The Jeanie Johnston serves as a floating museum and powerful symbol of Irish emigration during the Great Famine, when thousands left Ireland for North America. Today it remains a prominent riverside landmark, frequently used in editorial contexts relating to Irish history, migration, maritime heritage, tourism and Dublin's evolving urban landscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWWK - The Jeanie Johnston, a full-scale replica of a nineteenth-century emigrant ship, is moored on the north bank of the River Liffey in Dublin. The vessel commemorates the original Jeanie Johnston, which made multiple transatlantic voyages during the Irish Great Famine, carrying thousands of emigrants from Ireland to North America without loss of life.
With its tall masts, rigging and traditional wooden hull, the ship forms a striking feature of the Dublin Docklands waterfront, contrasting historic maritime design with the modern office and residential developments of the IFSC and surrounding quays. The replica operates as a floating museum and educational attraction, offering insight into Ireland's history of emigration and the experiences of famine-era passengers.
Situated along one of Dublin's busiest riverside routes, the Jeanie Johnston has become a recognised landmark and symbol of Irish resilience, memory and diaspora, frequently used to illustrate themes of migration, heritage, maritime history and national identity in Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWX0 - A close view of a traditional blue Garda lamp displaying the crest of An Garda S??och?na, Ireland's national police service. Mounted on a decorative metal bracket, the illuminated lantern is a long-established visual marker used to identify Garda stations and police premises throughout Ireland.
The Garda lamp is an instantly recognisable element of Irish civic streetscapes, symbolising state authority, public order and community policing. Its use dates back to the early twentieth century and continues today as both a functional and symbolic feature, particularly in urban centres such as Dublin.
Photographed against a backdrop of city architecture, the image captures a small but culturally significant detail of Ireland's public realm. Such visual markers are often used editorially to illustrate news stories, policing issues, governance, Irish institutions, or urban life in Dublin and other Irish cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXME - St. James's Gate Brewery is a brewery founded in 1759 in Dublin, Ireland, by Arthur Guinness. The company is now a part of Diageo, a company formed from the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan in 1997. The main product of the brewery is Draught Guinness.
Originally leased in 1759 to Arthur Guinness at ?45 per year for 9,000 years, the St. James's Gate area has been the home of Guinness ever since. It became the largest brewery in Ireland in 1838, and the largest in the world by 1886, with an annual output of 1.2 million barrels. Although no longer the largest brewery in the world, it remains as the largest brewer of stout. The company has since bought out the originally leased property, and during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the brewery owned most of the buildings in the surrounding area, including many streets of housing for brewery employees, and offices associated with the brewery. The brewery had its own power plant.
There is an attached exhibition on the 250-year-old history of Guinness, called the Guinness Storehouse.
The Storehouse covers seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped in the form of a pint of Guinness. The ground floor introduces the beer's four ingredients (water, barley, hops and yeast), and the brewery's founder, Arthur Guinness. Other floors feature the history of Guinness advertising and include an interactive exhibit on responsible drinking. The seventh floor houses the Gravity Bar with views of Dublin and where visitors may drink a pint of Guinness included in the price of most admission tickets
The Guinness Storehouse explains the history of beer. The story is told through various interactive exhibition areas including ingredients, brewing, transport, cooperage, advertising, and sponsorship.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXPY - A multi-storey social housing apartment block located on Taylors Lane in The Liberties, an inner city area of Dublin, Ireland. The building features a functional modernist design with uniform balconies and reflects post-war local authority housing provision in the Irish capital. The image captures everyday residential life in one of Dublin's historic neighbourhoods and highlights broader themes of affordable housing, urban density, and the continuing role of public sector housing within established inner city communities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXRB - A traditional Irish post office operated by An Post at 5 Ushers Quay in Dublin 8, photographed from street level. The building features a distinctive green-painted wooden shopfront, a colour long associated with Irish public services and heritage retail premises. Prominent bilingual signage across the fascia reads Oifis an Poist, reflecting Ireland's official use of both the Irish and English languages.
The frontage includes wooden double doors, flanking windows, and signage advertising post office services, stationery, and greeting cards. Additional posters visible in the windows reference modern An Post services, highlighting the contrast between the historic appearance of the building and the contemporary financial and digital services now offered by Ireland's national postal operator.
Ushers Quay runs along the south bank of the River Liffey, close to Dublin city centre, an area characterised by a mix of historic commercial buildings, residential properties, and long-established local services. The image captures a moment in the ongoing evolution of Ireland's high streets, where traditional public service buildings face pressure from digital communication, changing retail habits, and urban regeneration.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating Irish public services, postal history, bilingual signage in Ireland, Dublin streetscapes, heritage shopfronts, and discussions around the future of traditional post offices in European cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJGJ - The exterior of Rory's Fishing Tackle, a long-established specialist fishing and angling shop located in the Temple Bar area of Dublin city centre, Ireland. The image shows the premises closed, with metal shutters pulled down and decorated with painted fishing-themed artwork, including fish and angling imagery.
Temple Bar is best known as Dublin's cultural and nightlife quarter, but it has also historically been home to small independent retailers serving niche interests such as fishing, music, and crafts. Shops like Rory's Fishing Tackle reflect an earlier phase of the area's commercial life, prior to its transformation into a tourism- and hospitality-led district.
The red brick corner building and layered signage give the scene a slightly timeworn appearance, capturing the impact of changing retail patterns, rising rents, and shifting economic priorities in Dublin's city centre. The closed shopfront stands as a visual marker of the challenges faced by specialist independent retailers in high-profile urban locations.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating Dublin retail change, independent businesses, urban decline and regeneration, specialist shops, angling culture in Ireland, and the evolving character of Temple Bar beyond its tourist image.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJGP - The exterior of R & C McCormack Celtic Jewellers on Grafton Street in Dublin city centre, Ireland. The shopfront features distinctive green branding with gold lettering advertising Celtic jewellery, a style closely associated with Irish heritage and traditional design motifs.
Grafton Street is Dublin's principal pedestrianised shopping street and one of the busiest retail locations in Ireland, frequented by shoppers, tourists, and street performers. The image shows the jeweller's metal shutter closed, with passers-by visible nearby, capturing an everyday moment in the city's commercial life.
Independent jewellery shops such as this have long been part of Dublin's retail landscape, serving both local customers and visitors seeking Irish-made or Irish-themed jewellery. The scene also reflects wider changes affecting high streets in major cities, including shifting shopping habits, tourism patterns, and economic pressures on bricks-and-mortar retailers.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating Dublin retail streets, Irish jewellery businesses, city-centre commerce, tourism, independent shops, urban change, and contemporary life on one of Ireland's most recognisable streets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJH6 - A close-up view of a housing protest poster attached to a street pole in Dublin city centre, Ireland, photographed in June 2025. The poster advertises a planned demonstration at D?il ??ireann and describes the housing situation as an emergency, reflecting widespread public concern over housing supply, affordability, and homelessness in Ireland.
The sign features bold red and yellow typography designed for high visibility in an urban environment and references organised protest activity involving speeches, music, and public participation. Such posters are a common feature of Dublin's streetscape during periods of heightened political debate and social mobilisation.
Ireland has experienced sustained pressure on housing availability in recent years, particularly in major cities such as Dublin, leading to regular protests, policy discussions, and public campaigns focused on housing provision and reform. Temporary street posters like this document how political messaging is communicated at ground level in public spaces.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating housing protests, urban political activism, social policy debates, cost of living issues, public demonstrations in Ireland, and contemporary civic life in European capital cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BR177E - A busy scene of Transport for Ireland (TFI) double-decker buses and city traffic moving slowly around Parnell Square in Dublin city centre, Ireland. Multiple green and yellow Dublin Bus and Bus ??ireann vehicles are visible, reflecting the colour scheme used across Ireland's integrated public transport network.
Parnell Square is a key traffic junction on the north side of Dublin's city centre, bordered by Georgian red-brick terraces and major cultural and civic institutions. The image captures congestion caused by high bus volumes, private cars, and constrained road space, illustrating the daily pressures on Dublin's urban transport infrastructure.
Public buses play a central role in Dublin's transport system, supporting commuting, tourism, and city-centre accessibility. However, increasing demand, roadworks, and competing uses of limited street space have contributed to recurring congestion in areas such as Parnell Square.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating urban transport challenges, public transport policy, city congestion, sustainable mobility debates, infrastructure capacity, and everyday street life in Ireland's capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BR17BG - A Luas Red Line tram, vehicle number 3019, travelling along O'Connell Street in Dublin city centre, Ireland, photographed in daylight conditions. The modern articulated tram operates on Dublin's light rail network, providing high-capacity public transport through the capital's main thoroughfare and onward to The Point in the Docklands area, close to the 3Arena concert venue.
The Luas system forms a key part of Dublin's public transport infrastructure, supporting daily commuting, tourism, and sustainable urban mobility. The Red Line connects western suburbs with the city centre and Docklands, passing major landmarks, retail districts, and civic buildings along O'Connell Street.
Surrounding architecture reflects Dublin's mix of historic commercial buildings and modern urban activity, while other road users and pedestrians emphasise the busy city-centre environment. The image illustrates contemporary transport in Ireland's capital, highlighting investment in electric light rail as an alternative to private car use.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating public transport in Dublin, Irish urban infrastructure, sustainable travel, European light rail systems, city life, and modern streetscapes in Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX2K - Close-up detail of historic letter boxes inside the General Post Office (GPO) on O'Connell Street, Dublin 1, Ireland. The image shows the original An Post fittings with bilingual Irish and English inscriptions indicating postal destinations, alongside a centrally mounted clock bearing the An Post emblem. The use of Irish language text reflects national identity and the role of the postal service in public life following independence.
The GPO is one of Ireland's most significant historic buildings and served as the headquarters of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, a pivotal event in the struggle for Irish independence. During the uprising, the building was heavily damaged, but it was later restored and remains a functioning post office as well as a symbol of the Irish state.
Today, the GPO continues to operate as a working postal hub while also housing exhibitions dedicated to the Easter Rising and Ireland's revolutionary period. The interior details, including original letter boxes and signage, provide a tangible link between everyday civic services and major historical events. The image captures themes of communication, national memory, heritage conservation, and the enduring presence of historic public institutions in modern urban Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JYNXF1 - Architecture and features
The original M&LR single-storey offices facing Hunt's Bank Approach were built in the Italianate style in sandstone ashlar with slate roofs in 1844. They were later enlarged and given a second storey. William Dawes built the station's larger extension for the L&YR in 1909. It is at right-angles to the north end of the old station giving the enlarged station an L-shaped plan. Facing Victoria Station Approach, its fa??ade is in the Edwardian neo-Baroque style, four storeys high and 31 bays to the rounded corner at the south-east end. The ground floor windows have rounded heads and those on the floors above are square. The ornate glass and iron canopy along the fa??ade displays the names of destinations that the station served in Art Nouveau lettering. The canopy was damaged by the Provisional IRA's 1996 bomb placed in a street adjacent to the Arndale Centre and was restored four years later.
Heritage features in the concourse were restored during the 2013-15 renovation, they include the caf?? with its glass dome and mosaic lettering which was originally the first-class dining room, the adjacent bookstall, and the original 1909 wood-panelled booking hall. In the entrance is a large, white glazed tiled map showing the former network of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
Underneath the map is a bronze World War I war memorial with effigies of Saint George and Saint Michael at each end which was installed in 1923. At the south end of the concourse is the 'soldier's gate' which opened to the former fish docks from where thousands of soldiers departed for World War I and where a bronze plaque was erected to commemorate them. The gateway was restored in 2015 and a steel screen inserted featuring a map of World War I Commonwealth grave cemeteries in Northern France and Belgium.
The station received Grade II listed building status in 1988

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFP0G3 - Fontaines D.C. are a post-punk rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The band released their debut studio album, Dogrel, on April 12, 2019. Winners of Album of the Year 2019 from both Rough Trade and BBC 6Music.
Carlos O'Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan, Grian Chatten, and Tom Coll met in Dublin while attending music college at British and Irish Modern Music Institute in Liberties, Dublin. They bonded over a common love of poetry and collectively released two collections of poetry, one called Vroom, inspired by the Beat poets (Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg) and another called Winding, inspired by Irish poets (Patrick Kavanagh, James Joyce, W. B. Yeats). None of the published poems were translated into songs, but the track Television Screens off their debut Dogrel started out as a poem and was turned into a song.
Lead singer Grian Chatten is half-British (his mother is English and his father is Irish) and was born in Barrow-in-Furness, England but grew up in the County Dublin town of Skerries, Dublin.[10] Coll, Curley, and Deegan are from Ireland ? Mayo, County Mayo, Emyvale in County Monaghan, and Mayo, County Mayo, respectively, and O'Connell grew up in Madrid, Spain.
The band got their name from a character in the movie The Godfather called Johnny Fontane, a singer and movie star portrayed by Al Martino. Fontane was godson of Vito Corleone. They added the initials D.C. when a band in Los Angeles had the same name. The initials D.C. stand for Dublin City.
Fontaines started out self-releasing singles. In May 2017, Fontaines released the single Liberty Belle followed by the split Hurricane Laughter / Winter In the Sun. Liberty Belle is in homage to the Liberties, a neighborhood in Dublin where many band members lived.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AEDHXR - Traditional Irish Restaurants in Dublin
Ireland is known for great music, great art and great literature ? not so much for great food. However, Dublin's best traditional restaurants are fighting back against the cuisine's bland reputation with exceptional local produce, innovative cooking techniques and a liberal serving of the country's trademark creativity.
Hearty, warming and wholesome ? that's Irish food in brief, but its detractors would say there's little more to it than stewed meat and potatoes. According to local restaurant owners, including Elaine Murphy, director of The Winding Stair Group of restaurants, this couldn't be further from the truth. I believe we have come incredibly far as a post-colonial nation, in terms of confidence in our own product, she says. In Dublin, you'll still find traditional classics such as coddle (a jumble of bacon, sausage and potato) and Irish lamb stew, but you'll also find exciting Michelin-acclaimed chefs taking the cuisine to new heights.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AYHHNJ - Every year on June 16th many James Joyce enthusiasts, some dressed in Edwardian costume, re-enact this epic pub crawl, and though it's referred to as a ?literary event' it's basically an excuse for lots of drinking broken up by a bit of walking and the reading of various excerpts from the book. The event is known as Bloomsday and the first mention of such a thing was found in a letter from James Joyce to a Miss Weaver, dated June 27th 1924 and referring to a group of people who observe what they call ?Bloom's Day' ? June 16th. The book itself must have made a big impression on someone back in the 1970s as the hotel was named after one of the story's main characters.
Fast forward to the present day and we find James Earley, a Dublin artist whose works are based on his family's artistic past within Irish stained glass art. James has been producing artworks in public spaces since 1997, playing an active role in the Irish graffiti movement, and from 2010 has developed abstract figurative works based on the principles and beauty of stained glass. He has travelled widely with his art throughout Europe, Asia and America and has worked on a variety of large-scale projects with various art-based organisations and multi-nationals which support the arts.
In 2014 James was commissioned to paint the exterior of Blooms Hotel
the project took a full year to complete and to date is the largest public artwork in Ireland. When I first saw it I was quite surprised that this street art wasn't just part of one wall, it was the whole exterior of the building. With my liking for bright colours and abstract, psychedelic designs I just had to take a few photos although the names on the pictures meant nothing to me at the time until I did a bit of later research and found the connection to James Joyce's Ulysses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DPGJEY - Christ Church Cathedral, more formally The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, is the cathedral of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and the cathedral of the ecclesiastical province of the United Provinces of Dublin and Cashel in the (Anglican) Church of Ireland.[1] It is situated in Dublin, Ireland, and is the elder of the capital city's two medieval cathedrals, the other being St Patrick's Cathedral.
The cathedral was founded in the early 11th century under the Viking king Sitric Silkenbeard. It was rebuilt in stone in the late 12th century under the Norman potentate Strongbow, and considerably enlarged in the early 13th century, using Somerset stones and craftsmen. A partial collapse in the 16th century left it in poor shape and the building was extensively renovated and rebuilt in the late 19th century, giving it the form it has today, including the tower, flying buttresses, and distinctive covered footbridge. The cathedral was extensively renovated and rebuilt from 1871 to 1878 by George Edmund Street, with the sponsorship of distiller Henry Roe of Mount Anville. The great 14th-century choir was demolished and a new eastern end was built over the original crypt. He built a new chapter house. The tower was rebuilt. The south nave arcade was rebuilt. The flying buttresses were added as a decorative feature. The north porch was removed. The baptistry was built in its place.[7] Street built the adjacent Synod Hall, taking in the last remnant of St Michael and All Angels's Church, including the bell tower. The synod house is linked to the cathedral by Street's iconic covered footbridge

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DPGJRG - The General Post Office (GPO) Irish : Ard-Oifig an Phoist ) in Dublin is the headquarters of An Post, the Irish Post Office, and Dublin's principal post office. Sited in the centre of O'Connell Street, the city's main thoroughfare, it is one of Ireland's most famous buildings, not least because it served as the headquarters of the leaders of the Easter Rising. It was the last of the great Georgian public buildings erected in the capital.
The foundation-stone of the building, which was designed by Francis Johnston, was laid by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Charles Whitworth, 1st Earl Whitworth, on 12 August 1814. The front, which extends 67.1 metres (220 ft), has an Ionic portico (24.4 metres (80 ft) wide), of six fluted Ionic columns, 137.16 centimetres (54 inches) in diameter. The frieze of the entablature is highly enriched, and in the tympanum of the pediment were the royal arms until removed following restoration in the 1920s. On the acroteria of the pediment are three statues by John Smyth
During the Easter Rising of 1916, the GPO served as the headquarters of the uprising's leaders. It was from outside this building on the 24th of April 1916, that Patrick Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Irish Republic. The building was destroyed by fire in the course of the rebellion, save for the granite facade, and not rebuilt until 1929, by the Irish Free State government

The Dublin Writers Museum was opened in November 1991 at No 18, Parnell Square, Dublin, Ireland. The museum occupies an original 18th-century house, which accommodates the museum rooms, library, gallery, and administration area. The annexe behind it has a coffee shop and bookshop on the ground floor and exhibition and lecture rooms on the floors above. Dublin stuccatore Michael Stapleton decorated the upstairs gallery. The Irish Writers' Centre, next door in No 19, contains the meeting rooms and offices of the Irish Writers' Union, the Society of Irish Playwrights, the Irish Children's Book Trust and the Irish Translators' & Interpreters' Association. The basement beneath both houses is occupied by the Chapter One restaurant.
The Museum was established to promote interest, through its collection, displays and activities, in Irish literature as a whole and in the lives and works of individual Irish writers. Through its association with the Irish Writers' Centre it provides a link with living writers and the international literary scene. On a national level it acts as a centre, simultaneously pulling together the strands of Irish literature and complementing the smaller, more detailed museums devoted to individuals like James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats and Patrick Pearse. It functions as a place where people can come from Dublin, Ireland and abroad to experience the phenomenon of Irish writing both as history and as actuality.
The writers featured in the Museum are those who have made an important contribution to Irish or international literature or, on a local level, to the literature of Dublin. It is a view of Irish literature from a Dublin perspective.
On display in the museum are literary ephemera and memorabilia, including a detailed replica of The Book of Kells, Samuel Beckett's phone, a letter from 'tenement aristocrat' Brendan Behan to his brother.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCC - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sl?inte Leana?? ??ireann ag Sr?id an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Se?n Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, ??amon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JDN - Identity Ireland is a minor political party in Ireland. A right-wing to far-right party, it has no representation at local or national level. It was launched in Dublin on 22 July 2015. Its founders are Gary Allen, Peter O'Loughlin and Alan Tighe. O'Loughlin, the party's national spokesperson, contested the 2016 Irish general election and 2019 European Parliament election
Identity Ireland states that it favours Irish sovereignty by leaving the European Union and a return to the Irish pound. The party supports a controlled border policy in order to curtail the immigration that, it says, is putting strain on the Irish welfare system. It also supports more careful vetting of incoming asylum seekers. It supports the Irish branch of Pegida, and has joined the Fortress Europe coalition. It advocates the introduction of a two strike law for serious offences, as well as the re-introduction of penal labour. It supports keeping Ireland's neutrality. It also advocated in favour of Brexit
Identity Ireland has been accused of being racist. Some of its press conferences and meetings, and its launch, have been disrupted by protesters

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JJK - Billy in the Bowl (fl. 1780s), beggar and robber, lived on the northside of Dublin. Nothing is known of his earliest years and most of the details of his life are hazy. He first came to public notice in the 1780s begging around Stoneybatter, Grangegorman and Oxmantown. Born with no legs, he propelled himself about in a large bowl to which wheels had been fitted, thereby drawing the nickname ?Billy in the Bowl' from locals. Despite his disability, Billy apparently was a handsome man, with a striking face, dark eyes, and powerful arms and body, and was also graced with great charm. He became a favourite of the maids and servant-girls working the great houses of north Dublin and they plied him with food, drink, money and, it has been suggested, sexual favours.
It was said that he occasionally robbed from wealthy women who stopped to give him alms and that, since he was readily identifiable, followed robbery with murder. On one occasion in 1786 he attempted to rob two women, but they overpowered him by pulling his hair and sticking a thumb in his eye. Some hours later, male friends of the two women captured Billy in a hedge near the back of the Royal Barracks and conveyed him to custody using a wheel-barrow. Convicted of robbery, Billy was sent to Newgate prison where he saw out his days doing hard labour, while city notables came to visit him as an object of curiosity.
In Dublin folklore Billy is sometimes remembered as a Robin Hood-style character who robbed from the rich to give to the poor. He is recalled in traditional songs such as ?The twang-man' and makes an appearance in James Joyce's (qv) Finnegans wake: ?Billi with the Boule, who had mummed and mauled up to that (for he was hesitency in excelcism)'. More recently he featured in Shane MacGowan's song ?The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn' on the album Rum, sodomy and the lash (1985): ?You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl / There was lazy drunken bastards singing Billy in the Bowl

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JNN - Homeless Jesus, also known as Jesus the Homeless, is a bronze sculpture by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz depicting Jesus as a homeless person, sleeping on a park bench. The original sculpture was installed at Regis College, University of Toronto, in early 2013. Over 100 casts of the statue have been installed worldwide since 2016
Homeless Jesus was designed by Timothy Schmalz, a Canadian sculptor and devout Catholic. It depicts Jesus as a homeless person, sleeping on a park bench. His face and hands are obscured, hidden under a blanket, but crucifixion wounds on his feet reveal his identity. The statue has been described as a visual translation of the Gospel of Matthew passage in which Jesus tells his disciples, as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me. Schmalz intended for the bronze sculpture to be provocative, admitting, That's essentially what the sculpture is there to do. It's meant to challenge people. He offered the first casts to St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, but both churches declined. One spokesperson for St. Michael's said the church declined because appreciation was not unanimous and it was undergoing restoration. The cast intended for St. Michael's was installed at Regis College, the Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto. Similarly, a spokesperson for St. Patrick's complimented the work but declined purchasing the cast due to ongoing renovations
Reception of the statue has been mixed. According to NPR, The reaction [to the cast in Davidson, North Carolina] was immediate. Some loved it
some didn't. However, according to Buck, residents are often seen sitting on the bench alongside the statue, resting their hands on Jesus and praying
By early 2016, some 100 copies of Homeless Jesus were on display worldwide. The first sculpture outside of North America was installed on the grounds of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JTN - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ?dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84K2G - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ?dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNN6 - Oliver Joseph St. John Gogarty (17 August 1878 ? 22 September 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist. He served as the inspiration for Buck Mulligan in James Joyce's novel Ulysses.
Gogarty was born 17 August 1878 in Rutland Square, Dublin, the eldest child of Henry Gogarty, a well-to-do Dublin physician, and Margaret Gogarty (n??e Oliver), the daughter of a Galway mill owner. Three siblings (Henry, Mary, and Richard) were born later. Gogarty's father, himself the son of a medical doctor, had been educated at Trinity College and owned two fashionable homes in Dublin, which set the Gogartys apart from other Irish Catholic families at that time and allowed them access to the same social circles as the Protestant Ascendancy
As one of Dublin's medicos, Gogarty was known to be fond of public pranks and midnight carousing in the Kips, Dublin's red-light district. He had a talent for humorous and bawdy verse, which quickly made the rounds through the city, and sometimes composed mnemonic lyrics to aid his medical studies. He also enjoyed a highly successful cycling career before being banned from the tracks in 1901 for bad language, and between 1898 and 1901 he rescued at least four people from drowning. He became interested in Irish nationalism after meeting Arthur Griffith in 1899, and contributed propaganda pieces to The United Irishman over subsequent years
As a Sinn F??iner during the Irish War of Independence, Gogarty participated in a variety of anti-Black and Tan schemes, allowing his home to be used as a safe house and transporting disguised IRA volunteers in his car. Following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Gogarty sided with the pro-Treaty government (headed by his close friend Arthur Griffith) and was made a Free State Senator. When Griffith fell ill during the summer of 1922, Gogarty frequently attended his bedside. His death on 12 August 1922 had a profound effect on Gogarty

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNP4 - James Joyce's Ulysses was published in 1922 and is considered to be one of the most important books of the 20th century. The narrative follows the journey of two characters, Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom, as they criss-cross Dublin on 16 June 1904. Dublin takes centre stage in the book and the soul of the city is captured in all its gritty glory.
The narrative parallels Homer's Odyssey, with one notable difference, Guinness. The two boys travel across the city in what is basically a marathon pub crawl.
Every year a bunch of Joycean enthusiasts re-enact this epic pub crawl. It's dressed up as literary event, don't let that fool you, its drink broken up by a bit of walking. The event is known as Bloomsday.
2004 was the 100th birthday of the event, and there were lots of events organised that appealed to the high and low brow alike.
We think that the Catholic Church would have beatified Leopold Bloom if he really existed and wasn't Jewish. We decided to name the liveliest and loveliest hotel in Temple Bar after the great literary character - Blooms Hotel.
Blooms of Dublin is a musical play or operetta in two acts with music and text by Anthony Burgess. The work, nearly three hours long, was first performed (in a concert version) for the Dublin Joyce Centenary in 1982 by the RTE Singers and RTE Concert Orchestra and broadcast on BBC and RTE radio. It was produced by John Tydeman and Michael Heffernan.
The operetta is based on James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. It was published in book form in 1986. The texts of some of the songs also appear in the novels Earthly Powers (1980) and The End of World News (1982)

The house may have been built as a residence with the ground floor serving as a shop or business premises. Today, the building appears to be offices.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNXE - Oliver Joseph St. John Gogarty (17 August 1878 ? 22 September 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist. He served as the inspiration for Buck Mulligan in James Joyce's novel Ulysses.
Gogarty was born 17 August 1878 in Rutland Square, Dublin, the eldest child of Henry Gogarty, a well-to-do Dublin physician, and Margaret Gogarty (n??e Oliver), the daughter of a Galway mill owner. Three siblings (Henry, Mary, and Richard) were born later. Gogarty's father, himself the son of a medical doctor, had been educated at Trinity College and owned two fashionable homes in Dublin, which set the Gogartys apart from other Irish Catholic families at that time and allowed them access to the same social circles as the Protestant Ascendancy
As one of Dublin's medicos, Gogarty was known to be fond of public pranks and midnight carousing in the Kips, Dublin's red-light district. He had a talent for humorous and bawdy verse, which quickly made the rounds through the city, and sometimes composed mnemonic lyrics to aid his medical studies. He also enjoyed a highly successful cycling career before being banned from the tracks in 1901 for bad language, and between 1898 and 1901 he rescued at least four people from drowning. He became interested in Irish nationalism after meeting Arthur Griffith in 1899, and contributed propaganda pieces to The United Irishman over subsequent years
As a Sinn F??iner during the Irish War of Independence, Gogarty participated in a variety of anti-Black and Tan schemes, allowing his home to be used as a safe house and transporting disguised IRA volunteers in his car. Following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Gogarty sided with the pro-Treaty government (headed by his close friend Arthur Griffith) and was made a Free State Senator. When Griffith fell ill during the summer of 1922, Gogarty frequently attended his bedside. His death on 12 August 1922 had a profound effect on Gogarty

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJE4 - Patrick Kavanagh (21 October 1904 ? 30 November 1967) was an Irish poet and novelist. His best-known works include the novel Tarry Flynn, and the poems On Raglan Road and The Great Hunger. He is known for his accounts of Irish life through reference to the everyday and commonplace
Patrick Kavanagh was born in rural Inniskeen, County Monaghan, in 1904, the fourth of ten children of James Kavanagh and Bridget Quinn
Kavanagh's first published work appeared in 1928[7] in the Dundalk Democrat and the Irish Independent. Kavanagh had encountered a copy of the Irish Statesman, edited by George William Russell, who published under the pen name AE and was a leader of the Irish Literary Revival. Russell at first rejected Kavanagh's work but encouraged him to keep submitting, and he went on to publish verse by Kavanagh in 1929 and 1930. This inspired the farmer to leave home and attempt to further his aspirations. In 1931, he walked 80 miles (abt. 129 kilometres) to meet Russell in Dublin, where Kavanagh's brother was a teacher. Russell gave Kavanagh books, among them works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Victor Hugo, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Robert Browning, and became Kavanagh's literary adviser. Kavanagh joined Dundalk Library and the first book he borrowed was The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot.
Kavanagh's first collection, Ploughman and Other Poems, was published in 1936. It is notable for its realistic portrayal of Irish country life, free of the romantic sentiment often seen at the time in rural poems, a trait he abhorred. Published by Macmillan in its series on new poets, the book expressed a commitment to colloquial speech and the unvarnished lives of real people, which made him unpopular with the literary establishment. Two years after his first collection was published he had yet to make a significant impression. The Times Literary Supplement described him as a young Irish poet of promise rather than of achievement

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJE9 - Con Houlihan (6 December 1925 ? 4 August 2012) was an Irish sportswriter. Despite only progressing to national journalism at the age of 46, he became the greatest and the best-loved Irish sports journalist of all
Over a lengthy career, Houlihan covered many Irish and international sporting events, from Gaelic football and hurling finals, to soccer and rugby World Cups, the Olympics and numberless race meetings inside and outside Ireland.
He was a journalist with the Irish Press group writing for The Irish Press, Evening Press and sometimes The Sunday Press, until the group's demise in 1995. He wrote the Tributaries column and Evening Press back sports page Con Houlihan column
Houlihan died in the morning of 4 August 2012 in St James's Hospital in Dublin. Often considered one of Ireland's finest writers, he left behind a legacy of immense sports journalism that spanned over 60 years. A minute's silence was observed in his memory ahead of Kerry's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final defeat to Donegal at Croke Park the following day. His last column, in which he wished Katie Taylor well, was published the day after his death.[6] His funeral took place on 8 August 2012
A bronze bust of Houlihan was unveiled in his hometown of Castleisland in 2004. In 2011, a bronze plaque was installed outside The Palace bar in Dublin. The sculpture is in the foyer of The Bank pub on College Green. Cons Corner and a Bronze Bust with a quote are in The Palace Bar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJEH - Brendan Francis Aidan Behan (christened Francis Behan 9 February 1923 ? 20 March 1964) was an Irish poet, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and Irish Republican activist who wrote in both English and Irish. He was named by Irish Central as one of the greatest Irish writers of all time.
An Irish republican and a volunteer in the Irish Republican Army, Behan was born in Dublin into a staunchly republican family becoming a member of the IRA's youth organization Fianna ??ireann at the age of fourteen. There was also a strong emphasis on Irish history and culture in his home, which meant he was steeped in literature and patriotic ballads from an early age. At age 16, Behan joined the IRA, which led to his serving time in a borstal youth prison in the United Kingdom and imprisonment in Ireland. During this time, he took it upon himself to study and he became a fluent speaker of the Irish language. Subsequently released from prison as part of a general amnesty given by the Fianna F?il government in 1946, Behan moved between homes in Dublin, Kerry and Connemara, and also resided in Paris for a time.
In 1954, Behan's first play The Quare Fellow, was produced in Dublin. It was well received
however, it was the 1956 production at Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop in Stratford, London, that gained Behan a wider reputation. This was helped by a famous drunken interview on BBC television with Malcolm Muggeridge. In 1958, Behan's play in the Irish language An Giall had its debut at Dublin's Damer Theatre. Later, The Hostage, Behan's English-language adaptation of An Giall, met with great success internationally. Behan's autobiographical novel, Borstal Boy, was published the same year and became a worldwide best-seller.
By the early 1960s, Behan reached the peak of his fame. He spent increasing amounts of time in New York City, famously declaring, To America, my new found land: The man that hates you hates the human race.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJF6 - The Library of Trinity College Dublin (Irish: Leabharlann Chol?iste na Tr??on??ide) serves Trinity College and the University of Dublin. It is a legal deposit or copyright library, under which, publishers in Ireland must deposit a copy of all their publications there, without charge. It is the only Irish library to hold such rights for works published in the United Kingdom.
The Library is the permanent home to the Brian Boru harp which is a national symbol of Ireland, a copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic, and the Book of Kells. One of the four volumes of the Book of Kells is on public display at any given time. The volumes and pages shown are regularly changed
a new display case installed in 2020 will allow all pages to be displayed including many not seen in public for several decades
The Library proper occupies several buildings, six of which are at the Trinity College campus itself, with another part of the Trinity Centre at St James's Hospital, Dublin:
The oldest library building, now known as the Old Library, is Thomas Burgh's magnum opus. Construction began in 1712. A large building which took twenty years to complete in its original form, it towered over the university and city after its completion in 1732. Even today, surrounded by similarly scaled buildings, it is imposing and dominates the view of the university from Nassau Street. The Book of Kells is located in the Old Library, along with the Book of Durrow, the Garland of Howth and other ancient texts. Also incorporating the Long Room, the Old Library is one of Ireland's biggest tourist attractions and holds thousands of rare, and in many cases very early, volumes. In the 18th century, the college received the Brian Boru harp, one of the three surviving medieval Gaelic harps, and a national symbol of Ireland, which is now housed in the Library
The Library began with the founding of Trinity College in 1592. In 1661, Henry Jones presented it with the Book of Kells

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJFN - M.J.O'Neill's is a notable bar and restaurant in central Dublin. It has occupied 2 Suffolk Street and adjacent buildings, continuing round the corner into Church Lane. It is claimed there has been a tavern on the site for some three hundred years. From 1875 it was owned by the Hogan Brothers, until M.J. O'Neill bought and renamed the premises in August 1927.The part in Church Lane was the site of a printing house, where William Butler published The Volunteers Journal and the Irish Herald in 1783, and in 1789 Arthur O'Connor published The Press, supporting Wolfe Tone's republican views.
The corner structure is an impressive four-storey, vaguely of the Arts and Crafts Movement, red-brick and early twentieth century, with prominent Tudor-style projecting bay windows. There is a fine decorated iron three-dials clock on the Suffolk Street frontage. The building is protected and in a conservation area. Now, opposite the Dublin Tourist Centre, it is a fixture on the tourist trail and pub crawls.The house has a mixed clientele.
It is directly opposite Andrew Street Post Office, and near the shopping centre of Grafton Street. The discreet Church Lane door is convenient for the Bank of Ireland and other financial establishments in College Green. It is also the pub nearest to the Front Gate of Trinity College, Dublin and therefore attracting Arts undergraduates and academics. The original structure was divided into definite areas: a cocktail bar in the corner for the gentry, a public bar off Suffolk Street, and a back bar. In recent years the next-door premises in Church Lane have been added, as a carvery, and the interior has been opened up. A small snug, immediately inside the Church Lane entrance, was the significant venue for the Fabians of the early 1960s and for later left-wing students from Trinity College, Dublin.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJJM - Molly Malone is the enigmatic heroine of the famous song of the same name, widely recognised as Dublin's unofficial anthem. Immortalised in bronze during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations, the Molly Malone statue stands in the heart of the city's historic Georgian Quarter. Though regularly upheld as a traditional Irish ballad, it's not known where the song originated or if Molly Malone ever existed
According to the lyrics of the undeniably catchy tune ? also known as Cockles and Mussels ? Molly was a young and beautiful fishmonger who sold her yield from a cart on the streets of Dublin. The song's final verse states that after she died of a fever, she began haunting the city.
Although set in Ireland's capital and beloved by many Dubliners, the song was originally published in the USA in 1876. While this version might be based on an older Irish folk ballad, cultural academics have argued that the melody and tragicomic lyrics are more akin to the music-hall style that was popular in Britain during the Victorian era. Indeed, in 1884, a version attributed to the Scottish composer James Yorkston was published in London.
To complicate matters further, in 2010, an earlier mention of Molly Malone was found in an 18th-century book of songs called Apollo's Medley, printed in England in 1790. This more risqu?? version describes Molly as living in Howth, a fishing village northeast of Dublin. It recounts the singer's yearning to share her bed, contributing to widespread speculation that the song's leading lady worked as both a street vendor and a prostitute.
Created by the Irish sculptor Jeanne Rynhart, the statue depicts Molly in traditional but revealing 17th-century dress, hinting at her supposed job as a part-time prostitute and leading the bronze figure to be colloquially christened The Tart with the Cart.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MCGAW9 - William Temple was born the son of the Leicestershire man Anthony Temple, whose family name was said to descend from the Knight Templars, a once powerful monastic order during the Crusades, but which was outlawed by Pope Clement V. The rituals and the secrets of the order survived and many of the Knight Templars families came to prominence in 16th-century England when Protestantism was embraced. He was educated at Eton College and passed with a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge, in 1573. In 1576 he was elected a fellow of King's, and graduated with a B.A. in 1577?8 and M.A. in philosophy in 1581. He became Master of Lincoln Grammar School that same year. Though originally destined for the law, he became a tutor in logic at his college. In his logic readings, wrote a pupil, Anthony Wotton, in his Runne from Rome (1624), he always laboured to fit his pupils for the true use of that art rather than for vain and idle speculations. He accepted with enthusiasm the logical methods and views of Petrus Ramus, and became the most active champion of the Ramists in England.
William Temple's first sight of Ireland came as he landed at Howth in April 1599 to take up his position as secretary to the new lord lieutenant, Robert Devereux, and 2nd Earl of Essex. It was a baptism of fire as their first great task was to suppress a major rebellion of the native Irish tribes who had now united with the Anglo-Normans. While Essex campaigned around the country, Temple stayed behind in Dublin that summer relaying news of military deployment and successes to the Royal Court, Essex, once Elizabeth's most trusted confidant and intimate advisor, now became the unappreciated and maligned viceroy falling foul of the ageing queen. Both he and William Temple were ignominiously recalled to London that same autumn.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MCGAX8 - The Temple Bar is a public house located at 46?48 Temple Bar in the Temple Bar area of Dublin, Ireland. Standing at the corner of Temple Lane South, the first pub on the site was reputedly licensed in the early 19th century.
The pub building at 48 Temple Bar is listed by Dublin City Council on its Record of Protected Structures, and is recorded in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as being built c.?1840.
History
The Temple Bar area, in which the building stands, was so-named in the 17th century, owing to its association with Sir William Temple, father of Sir John Temple, who owned a house and gardens there.
Some sources associate the public house with James Harrison, a young publican who previously worked in his father's pub grocery business at 48 City Quay, and who reputedly obtained a licence for a new pub in the area in May 1819. According to related sources, Harrison sold his business to Cornelius O'Meara, a grocer, tea, wine and spirit merchant, in 1835. O'Meara, who also had another pub at 1 Wood Quay, remained in Temple Bar for around a decade
In 1951, the Fitzgerald family purchased the property. They stayed for ten years, with William Flannery arriving in 1961.
As of 2012, the owners were the Cleary family, who purchased the pub in 1992. At that point traditional features such as the Georgian style wyatt windows were reinstated and the pub changed to its current name. The business was expanded in the first part of the 21st century with the acquisition of adjacent properties, including The Temple Bar Trading Company shop, which opened at number 46. This section features a life-size bronze statue of James Joyce and a beer garden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MCGB61 - Philip Parris Lynott (20 August 1949 ? 4 January 1986) was an Irish singer, bassist, and songwriter. His most commercially successful group was Thin Lizzy, of which he was a founding member, the principal songwriter, lead vocalist and bassist. He was known for his distinctive plectrum-based style on the bass, and for his imaginative lyrical contributions including working class tales and numerous characters drawn from personal influences and Celtic culture.
Lynott was born in the West Midlands of England, but grew up in Dublin with his grandparents. He remained close to his mother, Philomena, throughout his life. He fronted several bands as a lead vocalist, including Skid Row alongside Gary Moore, before learning the bass guitar and forming Thin Lizzy in 1969. After initial success with Whiskey in the Jar, the band had several hits in the mid-1970s such as The Boys Are Back in Town, Jailbreak and Waiting for an Alibi, and became a popular live attraction combining Lynott's vocal and songwriting skills with dual lead guitars. Towards the end of the 1970s, Lynott embarked upon a solo career, published two books of poetry, and after Thin Lizzy disbanded, he assembled and fronted the band Grand Slam.
In 2005, a life-size bronze statue of Lynott by Dublin sculptor Paul Daly was unveiled on Harry Street, off Grafton Street in Dublin. The ceremony was attended by Lynott's mother Philomena, and former band members Moore, Bell, Robertson, Downey, Gorham and Darren Wharton, who performed live
In the 1980s, Lynott increasingly suffered drug-related problems, particularly an addiction to heroin. In 1985, he had a final chart success with Moore, Out in the Fields, followed by the minor hit Nineteen, before his death in 1986. He remains a popular figure in the rock world

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG3YEA - Dublin's Coat of Arms is the identifying emblem of the city and has been in use, in one form or another, for at least 400 years. The full Coat of Arms shows three burning castles on a shield, flanked by two female figures
One of the female figures holds a scale and depicts Justice (without the usual blindfold), the other has a sword representing Law, while each holds an olive branch. Below the shield on a scroll is the city's motto, Obedientia Civium Urbis Felicitas, which translates as the obedience of the citizens produces a happy city.
The origin of the Coat of Arms is unknown, but there are numerous theories, including:
The castles are watch towers outside the city walls.
The castle is Dublin Castle and is repeated three times because of the mystical significance of the number three.
The castles are not castles but represent three gates into the ancient Viking city.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG3YJD - Ulysses , he crossed under Tommy Moores roguish finger C&C
Leopold Bloom is the fictional protagonist and hero of James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. His peregrinations and encounters in Dublin on 16 June 1904 mirror, on a more mundane and intimate scale, those of Ulysses/Odysseus in Homer's epic poem: The Odyssey.
Factual antecedents
When Joyce first started planning a story in 1906 called Ulysses to be included in Dubliners, the central character was based on a Dublin acquaintance named Alfred Hunter whom Joyce had met traveling to a funeral in July 1904.
Another model was probably Italo Svevo.
The character's name (and maybe some of his personality) may have been inspired by Joyce's Trieste acquaintance Leopoldo Popper. Popper was a Jew of Bohemian descent who had hired Joyce as an English tutor for his daughter Amalia. Popper managed the company of Popper and Blum and it is possible that the name Leopold Bloom was invented by taking Popper's first name and anglicizing the name Blum.
Fictional biography
Bloom is introduced to the reader as a man of appetites:
Mr. Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. But most of all, he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

Completely destroyed and looted during the 1916 uprising No 3 was rebuilt in 1917 using some of the original girders for the General Post Office. During the height of the conflict centred around the GPO, William McDowell and the porter made a dash from the premises to Cathedral Street a distance of some fifty yards and in that distance William was shot in the leg and sadly the porter was shot dead. The Happy Ring House has a long standing tradition in Dublin, that you meet your intended by the pillar and then proceeded to the ?Happy Ring House' to buy that special diamond ring followed by a celebratory drink in the Gresham or tea in Wynns Hotel.

Status as pro-cathedral
The view toward the Sanctuary from the nave
Detail of the apse
Altar
The city of Dublin possesses two cathedrals, but unusually, both belong to one church, the minority Church of Ireland, which had been the Established Church in Ireland until 1871. In contrast, the majority religion in Ireland, Roman Catholicism, has no cathedral in the Republic of Ireland's capital city and has not had one since the Protestant Reformation. As the official church, the Church of Ireland took control of most church property, including the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (generally known as Christchurch) and St Patrick's Cathedral.
The Pro-Cathedral owes its origins to the Penal Laws[b] which restricted Catholicism (and other non-Church of Ireland faiths) until the early nineteenth century. For centuries, Roman Catholics could not celebrate Mass or the sacraments in public and were subject to severe penalties (hence the word penal). While these laws ebbed and flowed in terms of the severity with which they were applied, Catholic churches if they were built at all, were built down narrow, difficult-to-find roadways. By the early nineteenth century, many of the Penal Laws had either been repealed or were no longer enforced
an unsuccessful attempt had already been made to grant Catholic Emancipation. As a result, Catholicism began to abandon its previous status as an underground religion

Temple Bar (in Irish: Barra an Teampaill) is an area on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin, Ireland. Unlike the areas surrounding it, Temple Bar has preserved its medieval street pattern, with many narrow cobbled streets. It is promoted as 'Dublin's cultural quarter' and has a lively night life that is popular with tourists. Temple Bar is in the postcode Dublin 2 (D2), and has an estimated population of 3,000.
The area is bounded by the Liffey to the north, Dame Street to the south, Westmoreland Street to the east and Fishamble Street to the west. It probably got its name from the Temple family, who lived in the area in the 17th century
Sir William Temple, provost of Trinity College Dublin in 1609, had his house and gardens here. However it got its name, the earliest historical reference to the name Temple Bar is on a 1673 map.
Fishamble Street in Temple Bar was the location of the first performance of Handel's Messiah on 13 April 1742. An annual performance of the Messiah is held on the same date at the same location. The republican revolutionary group, the Society of the United Irishmen, was formed at a meeting in a tavern in Eustace Street in 1791.
During the 19th century, the area slowly declined in popularity, and in the 20th century, it suffered from urban decay, with many derelict buildings. Its unfashionability probably saved it from Dublin's property developers, who destroyed much of the city's historic architecture during the 1960s.
In the 1980s, the state-owned transport company C\u00f3ras Iompair \u00c9ireann proposed to buy-up and demolish property in the area and build a bus terminus in its place. While this was in the planning stages, the purchased buildings were let out at low rents, which attracted small shops, artists and galleries to the area.
Protests by An Taisce, residents and traders led to the cancellation of the bus station project, and the Taoiseach Charles Haughey was responsible for securing funding, and, in 1991, the government set up a not-for-profit company called Temple Bar Properties to oversee the regeneration of the area as Dublin's cultural quarter.
In 1999, 'Stag Parties' and 'Hen Nights' were supposedly banned (or discouraged) from Temple Bar, mainly due to drunken loutish behaviour, although this seems to have lapsed. However, noise and anti-social behaviour usually fuelled. by excessive alcohol consumption remain a problem at night

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5872814582 - 'The first national libraries had their origins in the royal collections of the sovereign or some other supreme body of the state.
One of the first plans for a national library was that devised by the Welsh mathematician John Dee, who in 1556 presented Mary I of England with a visionary plan for the preservation of old books, manuscripts and records and the founding of a national library but his proposal was not taken up.
The beautiful National Library of Ireland was established by the Dublin Science and Art Museum Act, 1877, which provided that the bulk of the collections in the possession of the Royal Dublin Society, should be vested in the then Department of Science and Art for the benefit of the public and of the Society, and for the purposes of the Act.
An Agreement of 1881 provided that the Library should operate under the superintendence of a Council of twelve Trustees, eight of whom were appointed by the Society and four by the Government
this Agreement also conferred on the Trustees the duty of appointing the officers of the Library. This arrangement remained in place until the library became an autonomous cultural institution in 2005.
After the foundation of the Irish Free State in 1924/5 the Library was transferred to the Department of Education under which it remained until 1986 when it was transferred to the Department of An Taoiseach. In 1927 the Library was granted legal deposit status under the Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Act, 1927. In 1992 the Library transferred to the newly established Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht (now Arts, Sport and Tourism) and on 3 May 2005 became an autonomous cultural institution under the National Cultural Institutions Act, 1997.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7M9E - Guinness is an Irish dry stout produced by Diageo that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725?1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. Guinness is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is brewed in almost 50 countries and is available in over 120. Annual sales total 850 million litres (1.5 billion Imperial or 1.8 billion US pints).
A feature of the product is the burnt flavour that is derived from roasted unmalted barley, although this is a relatively modern development, not becoming part of the grist until the mid-20th century. For many years a portion of aged brew was blended with freshly brewed beer to give a sharp lactic flavour. Although the Guinness palate still features a characteristic tang, the company has refused to confirm whether this type of blending still occurs. The draught beer's thick, creamy head comes from mixing the beer with nitrogen and carbon dioxide when poured. It is popular with the Irish both in Ireland and abroad, and, in spite of a decline in consumption since 2001, is still the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost ?2 billion annually.
The company moved its headquarters to London at the beginning of the Anglo-Irish Trade War in 1932. In 1997, it merged with Grand Metropolitan to form the multinational alcoholic drinks producer Diageo.

*** By Request ***
This is a track from 'No more heroes' the second Stranglers album. It was produced by Martin Rushent, and released in 1977. The classic cover featured a photo of a wreath placed on a coffin with the tails of several rats (the Stranglers' 'trademark'). It was one of the first albums I bought, after many plugs on the John Peel show.
They are said to be the longest-surviving and most 'continuously successful' band to have originated in the UK punk scene of the mid to late 1970s. Beginning life as the Guildford Stranglers on the 11th September 1974 with pub rock origins.
The Stranglers' early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards at a time when the instrument was seen as unfashionable. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Jean-Jacques Burnel and Hugh Cornwell.
To hear more (for my money), checkout any or all of the first 3 albums: Rattus Norvegicus (1977), No More Heroes (1977) &

Trinity College, Dublin (TCD
Irish: Col\u00e1iste na Tr\u00edon\u00f3ide, Baile \u00c1tha Cliath), formally known as the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, was founded in 1592 by letters patent from Queen Elizabeth I as the 'mother of a university', and is the only constituent college of the University of Dublin. Located in Dublin, Ireland, it is Ireland's oldest university.
Trinity was set up in part to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland, and it was seen as the university of the Protestant Ascendancy for much of its history
although Roman Catholics and Dissenters had been permitted to enter as early as 1793, certain restrictions on their membership of the college remained until 1873 (professorships, fellowships and scholarships were reserved for Protestants) , and the Catholic Church in Ireland forbade its adherents, without permission from their bishop, from attending until 1970. Women were first admitted to the college as full members in 1904.
Its a cool place, make time in your busy life to spend an afternoon there.
This is the place to see the Book Of Kells or just to enjoy the green on a sunny afternoon. My thanks to MOB (you know who you are) for the suggested Dublin tour. I met some old friends and old ghosts during my afternoon.

It was a sad day in 1986 when Phil was no more. Still he wont have to do X-Factor or Eurovision, he is preserved in aspic.
Lynott was born in Hallam Hospital (now Sandwell General Hospital) in West Bromwich (then in Staffordshire), England, and christened at St. Edwards Church in Selly Park, Birmingham. His mother pictured here, Philomena (or Phyllis) Lynott (b. 22 October 1930), is Irish, and his father was Cecil Parris, an Afro-Guyanese
Lynott's mother met Parris in Birmingham in 1948, and they saw each other for a few months until Parris was transferred to London. Shortly afterwards, Philomena found she was pregnant, and after Philip was born, she moved with her baby to a home for unmarried mothers in Selly Oak, Birmingham. When Parris learned of Philip's birth, he returned to Birmingham and arranged accommodation for Philomena and Philip in the Blackheath area of the city.
Her relationship with Parris lasted two more years although he was still working in London and they did not live together. Philomena subsequently moved to Whalley Range in Manchester, but stayed in touch with Parris, and although she turned down a marriage proposal from him, he agreed to pay towards his son's support.
Philomena finally spoke of all her children, Phils siblings in July 2010, nearly twenty-five years after Philip's death. The Irish Mail on Sunday and Irish Daily Mail ran a twelve page interview with her over three days. She revealed that her three children all had different fathers, and that her daughter was white. She had met her now-grown children, but they had never met their brother Philip. He knew he had a sister, but never knew he had a brother.Lynott did not see his father again until the late 1970s.
It was said of Phil that when out of Ireland he described himself as Irish. when in Ireland he was from Dublin. When in Dublin he said he was from Crumlin. He has a recently erected statue near Grafton St. He is an artist of which Ireland should be justly proud.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Saints' is a cracking track by The Breeders, released as the third and final single from their 1993 album Last Splash. It was released in 1994 on 4AD/Elektra Records.
The Breeders are an American alternative rock band formed in 1988 by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses. The band has experienced a number of line-up changes
the current line-up consists of Kim Deal (lead vocals and guitar), her twin sister Kelley Deal (guitar and backing vocals), Jose Medeles (drums and percussion), Mando Lopez (bass guitar) Todd the Fox (guitar) and Cheryl Lyndsey (guitar)
Kim Deal has been the band's sole continual member.
Their first album, Pod (1990), received critical acclaim but was not commercially successful. The Breeders' most successful album, 1993's Last Splash, produced the hit single 'Cannonball'. The band's fourth album, Mountain Battles, was released in 2008. The band's name is apparently gay slang for heterosexuals.
Christ Church Cathedral (or more formally, The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity) is the cathedral of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and the cathedral of the Ecclesiastical province of the United Provinces of Dublin and Cashel in the Church of Ireland. It is situated in Dublin, Ireland and is the elder of the capital city's two medi\u00e6val cathedrals, the other being St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Christ Church is officially claimed as the seat (cathedra) of both the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic archbishops of Dublin. In practice, it has been the cathedral of only the Church of Ireland's Archbishop of Dublin, since the English Reformation. Though nominally claimed as his cathedral, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin uses St Mary's in Malborough Street in Dublin, as his pro-cathedral (acting cathedral).[2]
Christ Church Cathedral is located in the former heart of medieval Dublin, next to Wood Quay, at the end of Lord Edward Street. However a major dual carriage-way building scheme around it separated it from the original medieval street pattern which once surrounded it, with its original architectural context (at the centre of a maze of small buildings and streets) lost due to road-building and the demolition of the older residential quarter at Wood Quay. As a result the cathedral now appears dominant in isolation behind new civil offices along the quays, out of its original medieval context.
Christ Church is the only one of the three cathedrals or acting cathedrals which can be seen clearly from the River Liffey.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WK8 - This photograph shows Dublin's iconic Ha'penny Bridge illuminated at night as it crosses the River Liffey in the heart of the Irish capital. Officially named the Liffey Bridge, the structure is universally known as the Ha'penny Bridge, a name derived from the halfpenny toll originally charged when the pedestrian bridge opened in 1816.
The image was taken during the evening, likely in the blue hour, when the deepening sky provides a dramatic backdrop to the warm artificial lighting along the bridge. Green and white illumination beneath the structure highlights its cast iron framework, while reflections shimmer across the calm surface of the River Liffey below, adding symmetry and atmosphere to the scene.
The Ha'penny Bridge connects the north and south sides of Dublin city centre and has long been a focal point for daily life, tourism, and cultural identity. Its elegant arches and decorative railings are among the most recognisable features of Dublin's streetscape, frequently photographed by visitors and locals alike.
Images such as this are widely used to represent Dublin as a vibrant European capital, illustrating themes of historic infrastructure, urban heritage, night-time city life, travel, and the enduring relationship between the city and the River Liffey

One of my favourite tracks, good to hear it today!
'Hash Pipe' is a song by US indie rock band Weezer. Released in 2001, it was the first single off the band's long-awaited third album, Weezer (The Green Album).
The song was aparently inspired by a male transvestite prostitute known for rambling to people in Santa Monica. Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson is featured on the cover of the song's CD single holding a pack of Natural American Spirit cigarettes that has been blurred out due to copyright issues.

The new white Samuel Beckett Bridge (Irish: Droichead Samuel Beckett) is a cable-stayed bridge in Dublin that joins Sir John Rogerson's Quay on the south side of the River Liffey to Guild Street and North Wall Quay in the Docklands area.
The architect is Santiago Calatrava, a designer of a number of innovative bridges and buildings. This is the second bridge in the area designed by Calatrava, the first being the James Joyce Bridge, which is further upstream.
Constructed by a 'Graham Hollandia Joint Venture', the main span of the Samuel Beckett Bridge is supported by 31 cable stays from a doubly back-stayed single forward arc tubular tapered spar, with decking provided for four traffic and two pedestrian lanes. It is also capable of opening through an angle of 90 degrees allowing ships to pass through. This is achieved through a rotational mechanism housed in the base of the pylon.
The shape of the spar and its cables is said to evoke an image of a harp, a symbol of Ireland lying on its edge.

Albert Greene (born April 13, 1946) better known as Al Green, is an American gospel and soul music singer.
In 2005, Rolling Stone named him no 65 in their list of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time'. The nomination, written by Justin Timberlake, stated that 'people are born to do certain things, and Al was born to make us smile.'
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Green in 1995, referring to him as 'one of the most gifted purveyors of soul music.' Green has sold more than 20 million records. In 2000, Green published Take Me to the River, a book discussing his career. Green received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002.
I was introduced to Al Green via the cover of this track by talking Heads ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjT71N4PGM ). There are some great compilations out there to checkout more of his compositions.

Inns Quay is where you find Four Courts, across Dublin's river Liffey.
The Four Courts was built between 1786 and 1796 by renowned architect James Gandon, while the finishing touches to the arcades and wings were completed in 1802. The lands were previously used by the King's Inns. The building originally housed the four courts of Chancery, King's Bench, Exchequer, and Common Pleas, hence the name of the building.
A major revision in the court system in the late nineteenth century saw these courts replaced, but the building has retained its historic name. This courts system remained until 1924, when the new Irish Free State introduced a new courts structure, replacing the old High Court of Ireland, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland and the Lord Chancellor of Ireland with a new Supreme Court presided over by the Chief Justice and a High Court of Justice, presided over by the President of the High Court.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ0YXD - Cash use has been declining in Ireland in recent years, in particular during the pandemic. Central Bank statistics indicate that Irish ATM withdrawals were ?13 billion in 2021, compared to ?19.7 billion in 2019, a decline of 34 per cent.
The value of such withdrawals is now at about two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels, albeit they remain relatively stable at ?1 billion per month.
Central Bank raises concerns at sale of Republic's ATM network
Regulator says 75% of network will be under control of unregulated entities by end of year as banks sell up
The Central Bank has raised concerns with the Government that three-quarters of Ireland's ATM network will no longer be under the control of retail banks by the end of the year.
The issue of the ATM network and the closure of bricks and mortar bank branches has been a political hot potato for the Government due to concerns around how older and more vulnerable cohorts of society might cope with such changes.
The regulator has outlined concerns on the matter in a submission to the Department of Finance's Retail Banking Review public consultation.
It said retail banks are selling their off-site ATMs to independent ATM deployers which, it noted, are unregulated. Just 25 per cent of Ireland's ATM network will be owned by retail banks by the end of the year compared to 100 per cent in 2015, it said.
In-branch services are also reducing, it said, with the number of bank branches countrywide set to reduce by 32 per cent compared to 2019.
The trend towards the withdrawal of cash and other in-branch services is being driven by commercial decision making, it said. We expect banks to ensure that the impact of their decisions are considered carefully and with a consumer-focused approach. The impact for all consumers, including those who are vulnerable, must be assessed by banks, to ensure changes to branches and in-branch services are undertaken in an orderly manner. We expect that vulnerable customers will be accomodated

The sign features the instantly recognisable Guinness branding, including a stylised pint of stout with a creamy head, set against a red background.
Guinness is one of Ireland's most iconic global brands and has been closely associated with Dublin since the eighteenth century. Hanging pub signs such as this are a familiar feature of the city's streetscape, particularly in historic areas where traditional pubs continue to play a central role in social and cultural life.
The warm glow of the illuminated sign contrasts with the surrounding brick and stone architecture and the fading evening light, evoking the atmosphere of Dublin's nightlife and hospitality scene. Street lamps and neighbouring buildings help frame the image within a lived-in urban environment.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating Irish pub culture, Dublin nightlife, iconic beer branding, tourism in Ireland, traditional hospitality, and urban street scenes in European capital cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCF - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sl?inte Leana?? ??ireann ag Sr?id an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Se?n Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, ??amon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFP0GA - Fontaines D.C. are a post-punk rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The band released their debut studio album, Dogrel, on April 12, 2019. Winners of Album of the Year 2019 from both Rough Trade and BBC 6Music.
Carlos O'Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan, Grian Chatten, and Tom Coll met in Dublin while attending music college at British and Irish Modern Music Institute in Liberties, Dublin. They bonded over a common love of poetry and collectively released two collections of poetry, one called Vroom, inspired by the Beat poets (Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg) and another called Winding, inspired by Irish poets (Patrick Kavanagh, James Joyce, W. B. Yeats). None of the published poems were translated into songs, but the track Television Screens off their debut Dogrel started out as a poem and was turned into a song.
Lead singer Grian Chatten is half-British (his mother is English and his father is Irish) and was born in Barrow-in-Furness, England but grew up in the County Dublin town of Skerries, Dublin.[10] Coll, Curley, and Deegan are from Ireland ? Mayo, County Mayo, Emyvale in County Monaghan, and Mayo, County Mayo, respectively, and O'Connell grew up in Madrid, Spain.
The band got their name from a character in the movie The Godfather called Johnny Fontane, a singer and movie star portrayed by Al Martino. Fontane was godson of Vito Corleone. They added the initials D.C. when a band in Los Angeles had the same name. The initials D.C. stand for Dublin City.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ0YXH - Cash use has been declining in Ireland in recent years, in particular during the pandemic. Central Bank statistics indicate that Irish ATM withdrawals were ?13 billion in 2021, compared to ?19.7 billion in 2019, a decline of 34 per cent.
The value of such withdrawals is now at about two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels, albeit they remain relatively stable at ?1 billion per month.
Central Bank raises concerns at sale of Republic's ATM network
Regulator says 75% of network will be under control of unregulated entities by end of year as banks sell up
The Central Bank has raised concerns with the Government that three-quarters of Ireland's ATM network will no longer be under the control of retail banks by the end of the year.
The issue of the ATM network and the closure of bricks and mortar bank branches has been a political hot potato for the Government due to concerns around how older and more vulnerable cohorts of society might cope with such changes.
The regulator has outlined concerns on the matter in a submission to the Department of Finance's Retail Banking Review public consultation.
It said retail banks are selling their off-site ATMs to independent ATM deployers which, it noted, are unregulated. Just 25 per cent of Ireland's ATM network will be owned by retail banks by the end of the year compared to 100 per cent in 2015, it said.
In-branch services are also reducing, it said, with the number of bank branches countrywide set to reduce by 32 per cent compared to 2019.
The trend towards the withdrawal of cash and other in-branch services is being driven by commercial decision making, it said. We expect banks to ensure that the impact of their decisions are considered carefully and with a consumer-focused approach. The impact for all consumers, including those who are vulnerable, must be assessed by banks, to ensure changes to branches and in-branch services are undertaken in an orderly manner. We expect that vulnerable customers will be accomodated

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1H9 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84J70 - The Garda S??och?na meaning the Guardian(s) of the Peace), more commonly referred to as the Garda?? (Guardians) or the Guards, is the national police service of Ireland. The service is headed by the Garda Commissioner who is appointed by the Irish Government. Its headquarters are in Dublin's Phoenix Park.
Since the formation of the Garda S??och?na in 1923, it has been a predominantly unarmed force, and more than three-quarters of the force do not routinely carry firearms. As of 31 December 2019, the police service had 14,708 sworn members (including 458 sworn Reserve members) and 2,944 civilian staff. Operationally, the Garda S??och?na is organised into four geographical regions: the East, North/West, South and Dublin Metropolitan regions.
The force is the main law enforcement agency in the state, acting at local and national levels. Its roles include crime detection and prevention, drug enforcement, road traffic enforcement and accident investigation, diplomatic and witness protection responsibilities. It also provides a community policing service.
The service was originally named the Civic Guard in English, but in 1923 it became the Garda S??och?na in both English and Irish. This title has been maintained in recent legislation. This is usually translated as the Guardians of the Peace. Garda S??och?na na h??ireann appears on its logo but is seldom used elsewhere. At that time, there was a vogue for naming the new institutions of the Irish Free State after counterparts in the French Third Republic
the term guardians of the peace (gardiens de la paix, literally 'peacekeepers') had been used since 1870 in French-speaking countries to designate civilian police forces as distinguished from the armed gendarmery, notably municipal police in France, communal guards in Belgium and cantonal police in Switzerland
