Don’t post about tickets.

78 Upvotes

If you are looking to buy or sell concert tickets you are very likely to get scammed. It's as simple as that.

Don't buy tickets on Reddit, however desperate you are, it's a crazy risk. There are proper channels for resale of tickets, use them.

So if you post about selling tickets here we will remove the post and may ban you. Please don't do it.

Posting about Tickets, Accommodation, Tourism? Things that aren't related to Dublin? Read This First.

103 Upvotes

This subreddit is primarily for people who live in Dublin. There's a dedicated sub for tourism posts with a huge archive at r/irishtourism Please check that first, and if you have a really specific question come back here and we'll try to help. Low effort posts asking for recommendations of "hidden gems" and "off the beaten track" tourist attractions will be met with scorn, and probably removal.

If you are looking to buy or sell concert tickets you are very likely to get scammed. It's as simple as that. Don't buy tickets on reddit, however desperately your niece wants to see Taylor Swift or whatever, it's a crazy risk. There are proper channels for resale of tickets, use them.

Looking for a cheap flat? A room in a shared house? Wondering if a specific part of the city is "safe" (whatever that means)? There's a sub for that too- /r/RentingInDublin/

Post your message there, not here.

A regular thing that comes up seems to be folks who have a very short time in Dublin and want to know what they can do in four or five hours or so. Just search this sub with the word "layover" and you'll see many many threads about this subject. Don't start a new one.

Similarly, threads about general issues which are not particularly Dublin-specific (salaries, national politics, international relations, stuff like that) may be removed.

At the latest estimate there are over a million Irish subreddits, so you will certainly be able to find somewhere to post your non-Dublin-relevant content.

Thanks for reading!

Stupid buses

50 Upvotes

Decided to get the bus to an appointment instead of using the car.

Planned it all out. Was at the stop 10 minutes before hand…

Fucking bus never showed up.

“Use public transport”…yeah lads, but it doesn’t work.

Now traffic is shit.

Swan & Cygnet gone missing.

29 Upvotes

There was a pair of swans nesting just by Griffith Bridge near Rialto Village (just up from the Suir Road Luas stop). They had one Cygnet hatch a few weeks ago now and all three of them largely stayed in that part of the canal. A few days ago one of the parents and the Cygnet have gone, and the one remaining Swan seems quite distressed (swims up and down the canal calling out). I could understand if the Cygnet got lost (to, say, a fox or something) but it seems odd one of the parents has also disappeared. I also walked up and down the canal a fair bit but no sign of them.

I wondering if this is something worth reporting to the SPCA or some wild life rescue organization?

Driving teacher for refresher lessons

Upvotes

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a driving teacher who would do a couple of refresher lessons?

I’m looking to get back into driving. I moved here 11 years ago but haven’t really needed a car since, so haven’t driven in that time. But for various personal reasons I’d like to start again. I’m in possession of a full valid UK driving licence.

Cheers in advance!

Safety in dublin??

3 Upvotes

My gf and I were walking up from busaras to connonly station and had a dude with a massive black bag walk behind us for ages. For some context we’re both together (lesbians). We both noticed after he followed us onto our platform so we left and made a circle around that area of dublin, to which he kept following. At one point we slowed down and he walked ahead but kept stopping, clenched his fists and then placed his hands in his pockets a couple meters ahead of us. We made a u turn and went the opposite way to find him still doll us. It wasn’t until we were able to get lost in a crowd we lost him too. Very scary, would warn others too.

Edit: idk why so many people are calling this fake so i’ll break it down even more ig???
My gf and I got off our bus, walked from the other side of the bus station to the main entrance, then walked back outside again (not walking up beside the luas). We then sat outside the train station for a minute thinking he was gone. We did laps around the area, inside the train station and outside.

Leap card fine

1 Upvotes

Hii y'all. So I was fined 100€ for not tapping on the commuter train. But I know I tapped it and the machine showed an "unknown error". The Ticketmaster asked me to mail an appeal to the Irish rail. I am a student and I use this route almost daily for 7 months. Can someone pls guide me on what I can do and what will be my consequences if I don't plan to pay it? Because there's no way I can afford a 100€ fine, it'll cause a huge dent in my finances.

I boarded the train at ashtown and left at castleknock. And I recharge every other day. Thanks for helping

Grapetizer Drink?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew whereabouts in Dublin I could come across some Grapetizer. I know they have the Appletizer in most shops, but I very rarely see the grape version and I got addicted to it when I was abroad.

I think the origin is South African, but I have no idea where to look. I’ve looked online and the nearest SA shop is in Athlone, and that’s too far for my desires!

Dog howling Crumlin

35 Upvotes

Hi there, living in Crumlin and there's a squatters location on windmill road that has a dog there howling all night, morning and day. The people living there don't give a flying fuck.

The dog is clearly stressed and I'm absolutely sick to the teeth of not being able to get a nights sleep cause of these assholes. I don't blame the poor dog at all. Started at 2 a.m and it's still going on. I called the garda and they don't give a fuck, told the dspca, can't even get them to call back, told Dublin animal welfare officers and again no one gives a fuck. I can't see the dog and know if it is even alright.

No one gives a crap about it's welfare nevermind the fact that it's causing all this noise. I literally can't fucking stand it anymore and don't know what else to do! Anyone else having problems like this and got any suggestions?

EDIT: 12:49 AM, day two and the dog is STILL fucking out there howling. I really don't know what to do and nobody is getting any sleep!

EDIT 2: honestly guys I know it's a big ask but if anyone else is living in the Crumlin area can you please also ring the garda to report this noise complaint? I feel like if enough people report it, it will become noticeable that this is an ongoing issue. I need all the help I can get anonymously. I would be forever grateful.

Has anyone had this done in the last year and how much did it cost? I'm seeing prices for 350-400 without even the initial consultation but a few threads in the past mention costs from 200-250. Cheers!

Dublin Bike Man

He has loads of vintage road bikes of which I’m after. However, the few reviews I’ve found are all extremely negative. Does anyone else know about him? Are they justified?
Is there anywhere else to look for steel road bikes? Done deal and adverts are both really dry at the moment.

Didn’t expect this many people to turn up…

Post image
741 Upvotes

About a month ago, I made a post here about a few casual football games we organise around Dublin.

To be honest, I thought a handful of people might show up.
Instead, we’ve met people from all walks of life people who had just moved to Dublin, people looking to get out of the house, people who didn’t know anyone, and people who simply missed having a kickabout.

Looking at this photo, it’s mad to think that most of these people were complete strangers not long ago.

What started as a football game has become something much more. New friendships, group chats, and familiar faces to look forward to seeing every week.

In a city where it’s easy to feel like everyone already has their own circle, it’s been genuinely heartwarming to see so many people connect through something as simple as football.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who took a chance and came along. You’ve helped build something really special. ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about joining but weren’t sure, take this as your sign. You don’t need to know anyone, and you definitely don’t need to be the best player. Just turn up we’ll make you feel welcome.

Watching 9 buses go past while waiting for my one is infuriating

68 Upvotes

3 x 77a, 3 x 27, 2 x S6 and 1 x 82. On the belgard road while I wait a half hour for a S8. I was at the bus stop on time but I guess my one came early and the next one of course is late. They are all supposed to be between 10-15 mins apart but the S8 is never on time and I get to be late for work again. Absolutely sick of public transport in this city!

Organiser / cleaner

7 Upvotes

Hello,

Hope it’s okay to post here - I’m looking for someone who does both organising and cleaning for a cleaning visit (like putting clothes away, things back in place) because my ADHD brain struggles immensely with this kind of thing. I tried to contact organisers from google but I either don’t get an answer or it’s really only a once off (I did this once off session but tbh it didn’t stick). Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who does both in the Dublin area?
