Should camogie players be allowed to wear shorts?

1 week ago | lovindublin.com | Shamim de Brún

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 Dublin senior teams had shown up for a Leinster semi-final in what is standard kit in almost every field sport: a jersey and a pair of shorts.
That Time Dublin Turned the Spire Into a Giant Lightsaber and Forgot to Charge Disney a Cent

1 week ago | lovindublin.com | Shamim de Brún

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 Spire on O’Connell Street like a massive lightsaber to promote the film. A kind of galactic branding Christmas lights bonanza. They got the green light. And they didn’t pay a thing.
We Need to Talk About the DART

For months now, regular passengers have faced delays, confusion, crowding, and rising fares. At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months could be poor planning or bad luck. Maybe its partly both, but it’s also textbook example of how neglect, opaque decision-making, and uneven investment unravel public systems that cities depend on.

9 Recession Indicators That’ll Scare You Into Atarting a Pension

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in another economic apocalypse.
The 20 Best Matcha in Dublin

2 weeks ago | lovindublin.com | Shamim de Brún

Once upon a time, matcha was a niche import for Japanophiles who owned swords and anime body pillows. Now it’s the emotional support beverage of choice for every Pilates-Ars*d, Sad Girl Lit-reading, Stanley Cup-hoarding, health-optimised submissive in Dublin. Us included. Is it the colour? The health benefits? The aesthetic? The way it makes you feel better than everyone?

Dublin Deserves Public Spaces

1 month ago | lovindublin.com | Shamim de Brún |Tiernan Allen |Katy Thornton |Sarah McKenna

8 months ago a thread exploded on R/Dublin entitled “Do you have a “Third Place” in Dublin?”. Redditor “nithuigimaonrud hit the nail on the head with their response, “Dublin doesn’t really have public squares as we usually dedicate any village centres to car parking and put our farmers markets in industrial estates.” Ouch. But accurate. Drury Street wasn’t designed to be a gathering place. It became one out of necessity.
Dublin City Council has won its appeal to go ahead with the Sandymount cycleway.

1 month ago | lovindublin.com | Shamim de Brún |Katy Thornton |Sarah McKenna |Tiernan Allen

The cycle path on Strand Road, first proposed in August 2020, is now back on track after the Court of Appeal overturned a previous High Court decision that had blocked it. The court ruled that the High Court was wrong to say the project was temporary or that it needed an environmental impact or appropriate assessment before going ahead. It also disagreed with claims that there were major flaws in how the council handled environmental checks or that planning permission was needed.
There’s a Massive Delivery-Only Food Hub Operating in Glasnevin Right Now

1 month ago | lovindublin.com | Shamim de Brún

There’s a strange new building in Glasnevin. You can’t sit down in it. You can’t order a pint. There are no candles, menus, or waiting staff. But from inside, thousands of food orders are being made every day. It’s called Hosted Kitchens. A purpose-built facility filled with delivery-only restaurants like Sprezzatura, Griolladh, Shake Dog, and Yeeros. It’s a “kitchen centre.” And it’s designed for one thing: food delivery at scale.
