Dublin (/ˈdʌblᵻn/, Irish: Baile Átha Cliath [blʲaːˈklʲiəh]) is the capital and largest city of Ireland. Dublin is in the province of Leinster on Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey. The city has an urban area population of 1,273,069. The population of the Greater Dublin Area, as of 2011, was 1,801,040 persons.
Founded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin became Ireland's principal city following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State, later renamed Ireland.
Dublin is administered by a City Council. The city is listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city, with a ranking of "Alpha-", placing it among the top thirty cities in the world. It is a historical and contemporary centre for education, the arts, administration, economy and industry.
The Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB; Irish: Briogáid Dóiteáin Átha Cliath) is the local authority fire and rescue service for Dublin City and the majority of the Greater Dublin Area. It is a branch of Dublin City Council. There are currently 14 fire stations manned by DFB, 12 of which are full-time, the other 2 are part-time or "retained". Full-time stations are manned by shifts across 4 watches, A, B, C & D. There are currently over 900 active personnel making it the largest fire service based on manpower and resources in Ireland.
Dublin City's first municipal fire engines were delivered in 1705. Throughout the second half of the 18th Century, insurance brigades were the primary source of firefighting for the city, operating independently for buildings bearing the mark of their respective insurance companies. Eventually the brigades began to co-operate on a competition basis with the first brigade on scene being the highest paid. It wasn't until 1862 with the enactment of the Dublin Corporation Act, that the city had an organised fire brigade. Dublin man J.R. Ingram became the first superintendent of the brigade, having worked as a fireman in New York and London. The brigade consisted of 24 men with a makeshift fire brigade station on Winetavern Street in The Liberties. In 1898 the Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulance Service was established. The turn of the century saw the brigade have its first fire stations and permanent headquarters built, with the first motorised fire engine coming on stream in 1909.
A fire department (United States and Canada) or fire brigade (United Kingdom and Commonwealth) (also known as a fire and rescue service or simply fire service) is a public or private organization that provides predominantly emergency firefighting and rescue services for a certain jurisdiction, which is typically a municipality, county, or fire protection district. A fire department usually contains one or more fire stations within its boundaries, and may be staffed by career firefighters, volunteer firefighters, or a combination thereof (referred to as a combination department).
A fire department may also provide "fire protection" or fire prevention services, whereby firefighters visit homes and give fire safety advice and fit smoke alarms for members of the public. In many countries fire protection or prevention is seen as an important role for the fire service, as preventing a fire from occurring in the first place can save lives and property.
Fire departments are organized in a system of administration, services, training, and operations; for example:

Terri Hooley (born 23 December 1948) is a prominent figure in the Belfast punk scene and founder of the Good Vibrations record shop and label, responsible for bands such as The Undertones, Rudi, Protex and The Outcasts making their mark on the national music scene in Ireland and Britain. After playing "Teenage Kicks" on BBC national radio John Peel then became a big supporter of the Good Vibrations record label.
Despite growing popularity, though, Good Vibrations filed for bankruptcy in 1982, just as the first wave of British punk had died. Bands that had gone to London, such as Protex and Rudi, went back to Hooley – and Belfast. Hooley's friends later got him a shop called Vintage Records, Co. just around the corner from Good Vibrations.
The label celebrated its 30th anniversary in April 2008.
In October 2010 his book Hooleygan was published by Blackstaff Press and was number four in the local charts at Christmas. A "Terri Hooley For Mayor Of Belfast" Facebook campaign was set up but he declined the offer saying: "There are enough fools in Belfast City Hall, they don't need another one."

From Piranha Bar: When we started talking to OFFSET about the idea of creating titles for their 2016 conference in Dublin, our heads literally exploded! OFFSET's design and creative conference is quickly becoming globally one of the most expressive realms for pure creativity. It allows us the type of creative free-wheeling that doesn’t come along all that often in the world of commercial content production. Working for the gapingly open creative minds of the OFFSET team, we were able to machine gun them with a range of ideas which plugged into various techniques we’ve been playing with in the studio over the past few years. Together we latched onto a direction which intuitively seemed to express the intangible impression of an OFFSET weekend. We were also driven by the challenges of th...
During the 1970's, Northern Ireland was seen as a musical wasteland. Bands struggled to get recognition and found it difficult to be heard because of geography and politics. There were few outlets for people to go to hear new music and socialise in a worry free environment. Terri Hooley changed all that. In the late 1970's Terri opened up the record shop "Good Vibrations" on the most bombed street in Europe at the time. The record shop was a major focal point for the local music scene. Inspired by the people he met through the shop and the talent he saw in Belfast, he set up a label of the same name. The label went on to release music from numerous bands from the Belfast punk and ska scene. A self confessed, "terrible businessman" Terri oversaw the shop open and close 11 times and the la...
Dublin's Cycle Courier Community We have put together a short film on Dublin's Cycle Couriers, that will open the program, which will all be about bikes! We are really happy with how this turned out, and many thanks to Nat, Eleanor, Graham, Aly, Daz, Steve, Nostromo, Cousin Paul and all the good folks in the Courier Community for making it happen. Its only 6 minutes long, so there's no excuse not to take a look at this unique subculture in action. Tell us what you think! One Love, All at Army of Id

I love the when the Enduro series rolls round to Ticknock. Maybe it's because the hill is literally on my doorstep and I don't have to do anything other than jump on the bike and ride up there, maybe it's the awesome views over Dublin city from the north face or the epic scenery of the Wicklow mountains to the south. Maybe it's the promise of a well-earned cold pint and recounting a few tall tales in the Blue Light after a hard days riding. Maybe it's the epic trails, carved into the hillside entreating 365 athletes to test their mortal selves and their bikes to see who will prove victorious on Sunday afternoon. Truth be told, it's probably all of these things combined, helped along in no little part by the organisational nous that series boss Niall Davis and his Biking.ie team brin...
Testing, testing... Took the digital bolex for a walk in Dublin, into the night. All hand held shots, 16mm Kern Switar, 2k mode, Tungsten w/b, 200 iso. The d16 is not a low light camera, judge for yourself how it performed. The workflow for this was not an optimal one - transcoded as Tiff's & MP4's. Much better results can be obtained by using LightPost & transcoding to ProRes files. Some flicker can be seen, this was testing various shutter angles. Some vertical smear can also be seen on car headlights, lens was wide open & the lighting conditions were a bit extreme, no one likes CCD smear, but in this case it didn't really detract from the shots. The only grading done was tweaking the w/b, no sharpening or exposure comp. Blue tint in some shots was an asthetic choice. Some DNG files ca...

Despite a long and sometimes tragic history of invasion and resistance, this thriving business capital has poetry, music and literature percolating through its cobblestones. Dubliner, Oscar Wilde once said “life is too important to be taken seriously.” While Dublin proudly honours its past, it is equally passionate about enjoying each and every new day. Nowhere is life celebrated more than in the city’s nearly 700 pubs. Nothing matters more to Dubliners than having a good time or, as locals call it, the craic. Of all the gifts, Dublin has given to the world, perhaps the most intoxicating are its stories. Originally built for the sons of the Irish gentry, the ivy-covered stone buildings of Trinity College are home to some of the oldest remaining manuscripts in the world, including the 100...

So this week we're excited to be exploring Dublin and we're planning to spend an entire week here. This video is going to highlight 25 things to do around the city. Dublin is where most trips in Ireland begin, so before seeing the rest of the country, Audrey and I spent a whole week getting to know the capital. When the weather cooperated we walked around the city, toured Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens, and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into a pub for some Irish stew and a pint of Guinness. The following video will show you a few of the different things to do in Dublin, Ireland.

Travel video about destination Dublin in Ireland. Dublin is the capital of the Irish Republic and is a city of musicians, poets and dreamers. Its Georgian buildings, whisky distilleries and historic castles are tangible and colorful reminders of bygone times. Numerous well preserved buildings, cafes, churches and idyllic canals also add to the captivating atmosphere of this fun loving city. One of the city's main landmarks is a splendid structure, Halfpenny Bridge, which derived its name due to a toll that was once extracted from those who crossed it. Dublin Castle is one of the city's oldest buildings. It has seen much transformation and is a combination of several building styles. After the Vikings, the Normans conquered the city and ruled over it for 700 years and under King Henry VI...
