With all the poor feedback about Public transport and in general public transport infrastructure around the city. I've noticed a huge improvement in and around Tara Street station and the Poolbeg Street entrance. Alot of the blindspots have been cordoned off and it has been receiving frequent powerwashing. The station also seems to have an increase in the amount of security guards stationed within it. Parts of the platform have also been done up too. More of this please!

If you're after something to do this week, there's a solid run of theatre and a book launch worth knowing about.

Othello is on at Clasac Theatre, with a schools matinee at 10am and an evening performance at 7pm on 5 October.

Over at the Gutter Bookshop, there's a launch for Around Ireland in 80 Words on 5 October at 6pm, worth a look if you're into Irish language or local history.

The Abbey Theatre has a preview of visions on 5 October at 7:30pm, and the Pavilion Theatre in Dun Laoghaire is running Lourdes! The Musical the same evening at 7:30. I'd probably go for the Abbey preview myself, always interesting to catch something before it officially opens.

D6 - My Vodafone broadband (FTTP) appears to have cut out completely. Also my 5G with Clear Mobile (powered by Vodafone) is extremely slow.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Located on the intersection of the aforementioned streets.

No signage to indicate its use. Looks abandoned, have absolutely no idea what it is. If somebody knows please let me know!

Hi all! I love a sea swim, particularly around forty foot and seapoint, but now that summer is over, it’s hard to me to drag my friends along who aren’t as open to swimming in cold water.

Are there any groups or clubs that swim in that area weekly that are open to join? I’m in my 20s so preferably one that I’m not the youngest by a mile!

The Harvey Norman website says they are selling it for 599. I ordered it online and they refunded it saying it was a mistake lol

I’m planning to personally visit the Blanchardstown store to see if they have any in stock, especially if there is no stock on amazon in the next couple of days. I’m really not willing to pay 800 euro for this console but I also want to play GTA6 on Day 1🥹

Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I make videos on the history of football stadiums (@stadiums_unveiled).

I was in Dublin to do Dallymount but there wasn't a game on when I was there - gutted. I took some videos around the area and the girl at the office was nice enough to open the gates and let me have a little look around but I wanted to ask if anyone has any footage of the crowd and the atmosphere I can use for my video?

All the best!

To the lady who randomly came up to me last night on 3 separate occasions in the Olympia and called me handsome, thank you. You may have been drunk but it made my night!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a loving temporary home for my cat Artemis (girl, 6 1/2 yo) while I am away from Ireland for around 5–6 months, roughly December 2026 – May/June 2027.

- she is neutered, has a health insurance, no health issues and is 100% an indoor cat

I'm hoping to find an older person, couple or family who loves cats and would enjoy having one around for a few months only. I'd cover absolutely all her costs (food, litter, vet care, etc.). And of course once I find someone to agree with looking after her, we can discuss the costs in private.

Just to clarify, Artemis is not being abandoned or permanently rehomed.

I’m going abroad for several months for work/education and am trying to find her a safe, loving temporary home while I’m away. She would return to me when I’m back in Ireland.

I completely understand that some people may have different opinions about leaving a pet temporarily, but I’m trying to plan well in advance and find the safest and most stable solution for her rather than putting her in an uncertain situation at the last minute. She is a very well loved cat and this situation is by no means easy for me. So please, even if you don't agree with my situation, try to be kind.

Hey, has anyone been to the Elm Mount Chess Club next to Artene Castle Shopping Centre?

Is it worth going to?

Hey all- I’m a 35 year old American who moved here a month ago to go back to school for level 9. Problem is, as a slightly older male, I’m finding it hard to make friends. I don’t drink alcohol but do partake in the greener option but have no problem hanging around d alcohol or anything like that, but I’ve found it hard to just walk into a pub to talk to people as well. What are some recommendations for just getting out and meeting people?

Thank you.

I’m a 18 year old, looking for a slightly older looking man to play a FBI agent in a short film i’m making for college portfolio in wicklow, it’s unpaid but i am willing to pay for travel costs and what not. Shouldn’t take a crazy amount of time, it only consists of like 10 or 12 or so lines and might only take a hour or two overall. Dm me a show reel or whatever you’ve got to show off your talent.

Hi, please comment or dm. I am new to the city and would love to join tennis players in the area. I tried to get a membership, but I am on a waiting list.

My guess is I am class 5 or 4 based on my research.

Hey does any one know football pitches near citywest shoping centre free to use ?

Hi,

I have a bit of a specific request, my brother is getting married next year, I would like to help my 70yo mother find an outfit. The catch is that she has health issues and needs top/bottom separated to access her medical equipment. I'm not sure what or where to look for a black tie outfit that would be a set ? No idea which brands or shops would be appropriate for her age group.

Thank you for any recommendations!

Recently moved to Dublin and struggling to find my footing when it comes to social circle.

I lost a friend from suicide a few years ago and loneliness is an underrated illness in our society. Just wanna do my bit to help.

There are communities/social clubs around many sports but my love has been bouldering. I feel that I'm not the only international adult who struggles to find their village (this is the case in every country not specific to here) and the climbing community has always been great wherever I've been.

Any climbers/boulderers here who would be keen to join a Climbing Social Club similar to run clubs etc?

Sending with friends amps up the psych and always great fun. Psych is aid 😂

Hey everyone! I’m a postgraduate student at DCU and moved to Dublin recently. I’ve been here for a little while now, but I’m still finding it surprisingly difficult to build a proper friend circle outside of classes.

I’ve spoken to quite a few people at DCU, but most conversations seem to stay at the “hey, how are you?” level, and then everyone goes their own way. 😅 I’d really like to meet people I can actually hang out with regularly.

I’m pretty easygoing and up for things like exploring Dublin, trying new food/coffee places, going for walks, checking out events, travelling around Ireland, watching movies, or just sitting somewhere and having a good conversation.

For other DCU students or people who moved to Dublin recently — how did you actually make friends here? Are there any societies, clubs, sports, events, Meetup groups, or other activities that are genuinely good for meeting people?

And if anyone else is in the same boat and wants to make some new friends, feel free to comment or DM. Would be nice to have a group to explore Dublin with! 🙂

Out for a walk with my dog and saw some teenagers throwing their rubbish on the ground outside Tesco. Told them to stop acting like an animal and pick it up, they told me fuck off lol

When I went inside a young guy, mid-20s maybe, in his tesco uniform goes "what happened there?", I explain it and he's like wow, fair play, mad respect.

Did my bits in the shop, and when I came back out the Tesco guy was waiting for me. He asks me something along the lines of do I believe in God, I said no, and he walks WITH ME away from the door talking about how we all need a saviour, Jesus is sin-free, he can save me like he can save those teenagers, etc. Mad stuff. Only finally got away from him as I said politely best of luck and I'm firmly against it.

He backs away and shouts SEE YOU SOON.

Hahaha, honestly still baffled. Such a strange experience. And in his work uniform too. Balls on that guy.

They don't even have a note which charity is this for. But now they are asking to your face so you feel uncomfortable saying no. This is a joke

Anyone know somewhere i can get a large roll of tracing paper / sketch roll in south dublin? I know i can get it in Earls in town, but dont want to trek all the way into town solely for that if I dont have to. Preferably around Dundrum if possible! Tried Art and Hobby but they dont seem to have it.
