The ‘Humans of Dublin‘ project is the incredible brainchild of Ruth Guest, in which she and her team photograph the people of our city every Saturday, and give them a platform on which to tell their story.
We’ve pulled together some of the best stories – from the hilarious to the heartbreaking – from the incredible project.
1. That time this guy had his priorities spot on
If you put a box of honesty or a box full of a €1m in front of me,
I’d pick the box full of honesty. Dessie Conway pic.twitter.com/qHhNjS7Gf3— Humans Of Dublin (@Humansof_Dublin) March 8, 2015

12. When this girl received – and passed on – the awesome gift of kindness
“What’s the nicest thing anyone has done for you?”
“I really appreciate small gestures and the other day when it was lashing rain, my friend from work gave me his jacket and walked me to the shop to get my tea and walked me back to work even though he was finished and he had things to do, that gave me an idea to give one or two rain jackets to the homeless that day.”

13. And the time this guy showed us forgiving and forgetting is cool AF
“When I was 6 I won a trophy for an Irish dancing competition for school but a bully stole it from me. I guess I was sad but I was over it but since then a week or something ago he found me to tell me that he was sorry for everything and gave me the trophy”
“Were you happy?”
“I’m actually hanging out with him later.”
