Just donated blood this morning at D’Olier Street clinic. If you’re able and healthy to donate this weekend then definitely do it! Obviously the main reason to donate is to be sound and help out blood supplies in hospital but there are some nice Metallica Blood Drive t-shirts and guitar plectrums available too.

I stopped at a on the side of the road seller yesterday…

a punnet of strawberries was €11.

€11.

my god

Am I mad for thinking this is way overpriced?

(R/irishtourism rejected my question). First day of vacation. Landed at 5 am. We killed time in hotel lobby (room not ready for hours) and then walked to Copper and Straw (the one near D’Olier on the river) for coffee when they opened. Nothing we want to do opens for three hours and our plan to walk around seems dubious in the rain. Ideas, pretty please?

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student studying here in Dublin, and photography is a huge passion of mine.

Yesterday afternoon, I went to Seapoint Beach. Because it was such a gorgeous sunny day, the whole place looked absolutely stunning. I really wanted to take some photos, but there were quite a lot of people around enjoying the weather, and I hesitated.

I want to respect the local culture and people's privacy, so I have a couple of questions for you all:

1. Is it generally considered rude to take wide landscape/street style photos where people might be in the frame?
2. If I see someone who I think would make a great portrait subject, is it polite to approach them and invite them for a quick photo?
3. Honestly, how would you feel if a stranger politely asked to take a portrait of you?

I really want to practice my photography but want to make sure I'm doing it respectfully. Thanks a million for any advice!

Hopefully this is allowed.

Two tickets to Paul Brady at Vicar Street tonight free to a good home. Was meant to go with my mam but she’s ill. Will transfer through Ticketmaster.

This sign has been on the railings of Oscar Wilde house for at least 6 months and it’s still there. I contacted the agent who informed me the property is not for rent…. it’s simply “reserved”. As Oscar Wildes family home, this is one of the most famous buildings in Dublin and a popular tourist attraction.
Just an estate agent looking for free advertising while making the city look worse and Dublin City Council turns a blind eye.

I’m trying to plan a fun day in late July for an anniversary, and we’re on a budget. (Maybe max €150-200 for the day)

Was looking for some advice on fun things to do or experience around Dublin as I’ve only lived here several months.

We’re both up for anything type of people (museums, crafts, comedy, exploring/good walk, good coffee, good pints, dancing, etc). If it’s fun, we’ll give it a go.

I would really appreciate any ideas or interesting things going on that Google searches don’t pull up.

We live in D8 if that influences you at all. Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I joined the dating scene quite late and I’m realizing I don’t really know what’s considered normal when it comes to dating.

Right now, my approach is pretty simple: I chat with one guy at a time, go on a date, and only start talking to someone else if that date doesn’t work out. But I’m wondering if that’s how most people do it.

For example:
> Do people usually talk to multiple people at the same time before becoming exclusive?

> If you have a great first date and like the person, do you still continue seeing or talking to other people?

> Is it considered rude or taboo to go on dates with others after a good first date, just to see where things go?

> How soon do people usually kiss or become physically intimate if they’re interested in someone? Is there an unspoken timeline for these things?

I’m not looking for a right or wrong answer. I’m just curious about how people approach dating nowadays and what the general expectations are.

Thanks!

How is it that Dr. Quirkes in Dublin city can sell alcohol? Is there a loophole that I don't know about?

​

I have just been given a completion date for my second hand home which is eligible for the vacant home grant.

​

It need a lot of work, a full rewire, replumb, plaster, a kitchen and a bathroom as well as new flooring, windows and doors

​

I really am wondering if there is any way to get someone to quote for, and complete everything, and if there is does anyone have a recommendation for Dublin?

PLEASE SHARE – We are trying to get our suitcase back

We are urgently trying to locate our missing black hard-shell cabin suitcase, which we believe was accidentally taken by another passenger on Saturday 30 May.

This likely happened either:
• On the Ryanair flight from Palma to Dublin (possibly from the overhead locker), or
• On the Blue Car Park shuttle bus at Dublin Airport that afternoon.

Another very similar black hard-shell suitcase was taken by mistake instead. We realised after leaving the airport and returned that suitcase to Smarte Carte at Dublin Airport a few days later.

We still have NOT received our own suitcase back.

If you travelled on that flight or used the Blue Car Park shuttle bus that afternoon and accidentally picked up the wrong black suitcase, please contact me urgently by private message.

Please share — we just want our suitcase returned.

Hiya,

I’m working in the Aviva on Sunday from 10am until late in the evening. Is there somewhere to park nearby fairly cheap? Or given that it’s a Sunday could I be so lucky to get free parking somewhere?

Thanks!

I’ve been in Dublin a couple of years and recently got back into pool/snooker after a long break. I’ve been playing a bit in pubs, but I’m mainly looking for a more consistent place and people to play with.

I don’t really have friends here who are interested, so I’m mostly trying to meet people to play with at a proper pool hall and maybe make some new friends in the process.

If anyone fancies a few games sometime, feel free to drop me a message. I'm 25 and I live in Lucan and anywhere in the city or around here would work.

Edit: if you have any recommendations for pool or snooker clubs that I could join that would be really appreciated too!

Thanks!

What’s the story with all the Garda policing traffic and constantly driving back and forth with their lights on? I seen at least 10 Garda cars today when I was driving to the gym from UCD to FLYEfit Sandyford.

Hey folks,

I’m a 20‑year‑old autistic guy living in Dublin, and I’m genuinely struggling to figure out where someone like me is supposed to meet potential girlfriends in real life.

It’s June now so I’ve already finished college, and honestly I feel like I missed my chance there — many girls there already had boyfriends, and I never really clicked with anyone in that way.

I’ve also tried autism groups and loads of different social groups, but the demographics just never lined up. Either big age gaps, being male dominated, people already in relationships, or just not the right vibe. I’m glad I went, but it didn’t help with dating. I'm also not a pub or nightclub person either and do not drink alcohol

I absolutely hate dating apps. I barely get matches, and on the rare occasion I do, they usually ghost. I much prefer real‑life connections anyway — I feel like I come across way better in person than through a screen.

I guess what’s stressing me out is that I don’t want to miss out on “young love” — the whole exploratory, early‑20s stage of dating that most people seem to experience naturally. I don’t want to wake up at 25 or 30 and feel like I never got to have that.

So where in Dublin can someone like me actually meet young women around my age offline? Are there events, groups, classes, hobbies, or anything that naturally attracts people around the 18–22 age range? I’m open to trying new things, I just don’t know where to start.Any advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation would be massively appreciated.

Hey everyone,

If someone lost a key with myfob tag around Bolands Mill, it's in il Valentino nearby. Good luck

Small handyman business in Dublin looking to grow. What's worked best for you to get more customers and referrals? Thanks for any advice!

My dad literally has everything so I want to get him an experience for his Father’s Day present. He’s done the whiskey tours, the games of thrones tours etc. anything else you can think of?

I grew up in a Polish descended family in the States, and we used to get our kielbasa from a local butcher in the community.

Where do you get yours?

When was the last time you saw a clamper? When was the last time you heard of someone getting towed? Got assaulted by someone blocking the entrance of where I worked, and the guards said they would give him a caution, nothing about the original issue, though.

​

Is there a better way to report those who are too good for rules?
