Photographer Derek Kennedy, who has been contributing every week via his Dublindaily blog, has been travelling the city shooting different neighbourhoods and what they have to offer. Scroll down below to have a look at the edgy neighbourhood of Stoneybatter and our favourite places to eat there. Our picks are
Looking for a sp00k this Halloween, you won’t need to stray too far from the capital It’s perhaps unsurprising that was first settled around the 7th century and has gathered a few scary stories and haunted spots in that time. Through the years Dublin has been the setting of all manner of crimes, from graphic […]
