r/Dublin

Rent increase 20% from last tenant thanks to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and independents like that self serving fuck Barry Heneghan voting for to let landlords line their pockets with rent increases.

It was this or homelessness and now my partner and I will be handing most of our money to slimey scummy landlords who were not rich enough before.

We work had, we both went to university to get good jobs and now majority of our take home pay goes to a corporate landlord to avoid living on the streets.

Won’t have the money for a holiday this year, will have little to no money for things like eating out, or entertainment.

Nearly all our disposable income goes to landlords, utilities and grocery.

20% increase because a bunch of landlord politicians voted to line their own pockets.

Mandatory 50€ fee for bins each month and an extra 100€ for parking.

You are just expected to exist in Ireland and spend you life handing over what ever you earn to make the rich even richer and ensure these parasites get their big corporate bonuses z

So fucking sick of the greed in this country.

I’m not in a by election area but I can’t wait until one of these scum government TDs or that parasite Barry Heneghan comes looking for a vote next election.

Hey - we’re having a city centre wedding but the curfew for our venue is 12:30 am.

Any recommendations for late night pubs we can move on to, in the D8/D2/D7 area?

Haven’t gone out in town in ages so not sure where the good spots are anymore but don’t wanna end our wedding night too early either.

Thanks!

I know I’m not supposed to post tourism questions here, but I don’t think r/irishtourism will have an answer for me. I’m a huge EDM fan and I just wanna throw some ass to good music before I leave tomorrow. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I've been renting in Dublin for a while now and honestly half the time I see a listing I can't even tell if it's a good deal or a rip-off anymore. So I built this little game it shows you a real Dublin rental (photos, area, beds, etc.) and you get 5 tries to guess the monthly rent. Within €50 counts as a win.

3 properties a day, no sign-up, just something quick to do on your lunch break. Would love to know if anyone's actually any good at it or if we're all equally lost.

hiya, just wondering how strict the academy is regarding ID as i’ve never been to the venue before. i’m currently 17 and going with my boyfriend who is 18 to a gig there tomorrow, the gig is listed as 18s. however we are on the guestlist if that makes any sort of difference? (most likely not)

any insight on how strict they are would be absolutely amazing so we could atleast plan around the day if it goes awry.

thank you!!

Hey guys, does anyone know an online bank similar to Revolut that can provide an Irish IBAN?

I currently have a Revolut account registered in Italy (it’s shared/joint), so I can’t change the country to Ireland unfortunately. I’ll be moving back to Dublin soon and I’d need an Irish IBAN for salary, rent, etc.

Preferably something easy to open online 🙏

Who here remembers the underground passage across the Kilbarrack Road between 2nd and 3rd cul-de-sac on St. Donaghs Road? It linked up with a lane between the houses on Mount Olive Road and Kilbarrack Road which was later abandoned and taken out with the land given over to the residents on either side of the lane.

The actual underground was pretty big. Wide enough for maybe two small cars side by side. It was a big concrete culvert box. It was always dimly lit and prone to water pooling in the rain. On each side of Kilbarrack rd, there was a ramp to enter and a set of concrete steps at the other end. The ramp started where the bus stop is on Kilbarrack Road.

As kids we used to ride down the concrete steps in the bread crates we "borrowed" from Dunnes Stores. There was a landing halfway down the steps so you would fly down the first flight, hit the landing, most likely spin around and go down the second flight backwards. Half the time you tipped over and fell out. There were more cuts and bruises riding that thing. Probably a broken bone or two over the years. You would never get away with it now.

You can still see one remnant of the past. The small wall that runs along Kilbarrack road alongside St. Donaghs road has a cut in it. Maybe a hundred meters or so. That was where it was and where the rail along the ramp and stairs existed.

I can't find any record of it online but I remember when it was filled in back in the 80s. We were all allowed to dump all kinds of household waste and debris to fill it in. Another thing you would never get away with these days.

Some day somebody is going to drill down into Kilbarrack road for some unrelated construction and find that void. The actual underpass was bricked up on each side. It was the ramp and stairs that were infilled.

Id be curious if anyone has any photos or history of that part of my childhood.

Howyas, me and my boyfriend are heading off on holidays on Friday morning (06:35 flight). He's from the north and has a British passport. I've only just been warned by Ryanair about the new Passport Control Entry/Exit System checks for non-EU passport holders. We're due to arrive at the airport at 04:30 but now I'm second guessing this. Does anyone know if these new checks have been causing mad delays for non EU passports?

He's definitely applying for his Irish passport after this holiday 😅

Hi all,

I have a request from anyone willing to help me in this community. I want to buy tickets for me and my daughter to a Katseye concert in Dublin and presale tickets starts tomorrow with a few hours window for people with three accounts. Anyone willing to generate a presale code for me so I can get that window and have a chance to buy tickets to this concert?

I don't know if I still have any other options like buying a sim card in the morning that's why I asked this on reddit.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Thank you to a kind person I got the link and the code for tomorrow presale. Thanks a million.

Hi All,

I'm huge into music (metal, underground rap, literally everything "weird") and I'd love to find some friends who have a similar taste or similar interests. I've searched online for clubs and activities that would help me find my way into the/a scene but I haven't found anything that has caught my eye. Does anyone know of any ways that one can find others like this, or have any stories of how they got into the alternative scene here? I'm sort of feeling stuck.

Many thanks!

I use the LUAS regularly and tap on like a good citizen. But assuming I'm within the €2 90-Minute Fare, is there any point in tagging off. I usually just walk away

A mate and I are trying to book a table for birthday drinks for a friend. The lad doesn't love loud pubs and is hoping for a relatively quiet spot where you could have a chat. The buddy I'm organising checked out chatgpt and it told him the Harbourmaster (the one at the IFSC) was a quiet spot, even on a Saturday (which is when the drinks would be) but I'm hearing conflicting things about it from people at work and googling it is tricky.

It wouldn't have to be silent, but is the Harbourmaster a place where you could have a quiet chat in the evening on a Saturday? We wouldn't be worried about it being busy, just whether or not it has music blaring over speakers.

The table has already been booked xD

Does anyone know where I could get tickets? I know the venue is sold out but I really really wanna see these guys. I'm an American moving to Dublin a little before their concert so I don't know about resale websites or how any of that works in Ireland. Any information helps! I also won't know anyone when I move so if anyone is also into them and would want to meet up before the show I'd be so down! 22F
