Every week the community on Lovin Dublin share incredible photos on Instagram via the hashtag #lovindublin. There are a remarkable 7000 photos there and it is a wonderful place to find great places to eat, restaurant reviews and new stuff happening in the city. It shows Dublin off in the best possible way.
Last week we introduced a competition to reward the photographer with the best picture and give them a prize that money just can't buy... A Lovin Dublin hoodie. Now because there are only 6 in existence (for all our staff) the act that you will be wearing one of these shows that you won the photography competition one week. It also means that when you walk into a restaurant, bar or cafe in Dublin you'll be treated like royalty!! Here are the results from week 2...

City mottos, much like the advice of Irish mammies, come with good intentions but are often out of touch with reality. Around the world, cities cling proudly to little sayings, preferably Latin and suitably obscure. Each carefully embroidered on their crests, as though a handful of words can neatly capture centuries of colloquial urban existence. […]
A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

It has been 10 years since Dublin City Council handed the world’s richest mouse a free pass to the Spire Into a Giant Lightsaber and didn’t even ask for lunch money. It was December 2015. The Force Awakens was about to drop, and Disney, a company worth hundreds of billions, wanted to light up the […]

We’re talking full squat, vulva wide, ribs showing, boobs drooping, face sometimes skull-like. In a country where women’s bodies were hidden, punished, and moralised for centuries, it’s wild that these figures not only existed but […]
