Dublin

Ireland was treated to plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures this weekend. The public made the most of the sunshine by spending time in the park, at the beach, and numerous people spend hours on the canal banks.

However, images have recently emerged online showing the shocking state the canal banks were left in.

Twitter user @DJDeece wrote, “The absolute STATE of the canal. What is wrong with people? Either put your rubbish in a bin or bring it with you.”

The shocking images show the heavily littered canal banks, which were cleaned up by the local community and Councillor Claire Byrne.

Speaking of the extreme state of the canal banks, Claire Byrne stated, “People need to be a bit more responsible and just take all their rubbish home with them.”

She believes that the city needs to provide more bins to deal with the excessive crowds, “I think it needs to be a combination of both, but I think as a city we need to be providing more infrastructure, and probably larger bins and more of them during the summer months.”

She stressed that the public needs to make a bigger effort to clean up after themselves, “People need to be a little bit more responsible – take their stuff home – and perhaps we need to do a bit more of an awareness campaign around that."

It will be a day for networking and opportunity where attendees will get to meet like-minded women who support and encourage each other. 

Author Donna Kennedy said “The Women’s Empowerment Summit is all about empowering women to be the best we can, in today’s world women are expected to be super human. Most women that I have spoken to have expressed a feeling of anxiety based on peer pressure and living life by comparison.

"They often look at the high powered woman and feel that in order to succeed they too have to be high powered. To quote award-winning humanitarian Christina Noble who spoke at last years event "Never give up. The only way is up!"

A march will take place in Dublin today in further solidarity with the Belfast Rape Trial victim. 

As well as supporting the victim in that specific case, the protest acts to serve as a reminder to all victims and survivors of sexual assault that they will be supported and believed despite the not-guilty verdicts administered in the Belfast trial this week. 

Today's march is a follow-up rally, after thousands took to the streets of Belfast, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork on Thursday of this week.

The rally will begin at 2pm at Dublin's City Hall on Dame Street.

The I Stand With Her march has been organised by TD Ruth Coppinger.

It is expected that bus and Luas routes within the city centre will be somewhat disrupted due to the march. 

Over 2,000 individuals have clicked attending on a Facebook event set up about the rally.

Rathmines is the first place I ever lived in Ireland.

As a foreigner, I immediately loved the friendly, multicultural atmosphere and the fact that there are so many places to do your shopping, go out for a drink or a bite. 

Actually, after spending two years of my life here, I strongly believe that it is by far the best place to live in Dublin, and here's my reasoning:   

1. Location, location, location

 

A post shared by Fahmy (@onceuponawander) on

Rathmines is incredibly close to the city centre yet feels like a little village; 25 minutes walk at most, and barely a few bus stops separate it from Grafton street. 

2. Swan Leisure Centre

 

A post shared by Swan Leisure (@swanleisure) on

A cheap gym with countless classes, a swimming pool and even a steam room for 30 euros a month. Literally no excuse not to exercise.

3. The Stella Theatre

 

A post shared by Eimear Claffey (@eimearclaffey) on

The recently reopened cinema shows some new releases as well as classics in the most amazing setting.

Before or after your film, pop into the gorgeous bar upstairs for a delicious cocktail and feel like you are in New York for a minute.

4. Fia

 

A post shared by Fia (@fia_cafe) on

Technically, Fia is on Rathgar Road, but I choose to consider it a part of Rathmines. This cute cafe offers by far one of the best brunches in Dublin served by the friendliest staff. 

5. The food offer in general

 

A post shared by HEY DONNA (@heydonnadublin) on

Hey Donna, Farmer Browns, Two Fifty Square, Manifesto, Little Ass Burrito, Fallon & Byrne, wherever you are looking, there is a lovely affordable place to eat. And we are not even mentioning the Deliveroo options.   

6. The pub scene

 

A post shared by Guto Piazza (@gutopiazzamusic) on

From the young and hip Blackbird to the classic old man pub Slaterry's, Mother Reilly's or Rody Boland, it can actually become hard to pick where to go for a pint with friends. And if you feel like going "out out", Copan is great craic!

That's right, folks, Bloc Party is making a return with their hit 2005 album, Silent Alarm. 

If you've spend your fair share of time in alternative club nights or indie bars, you'll have heard the iconic album played to the crowds in the 13 years since it's release, still as formidable now a it once was. 

The album, which brought us Helicopter and Like Eating Glass, has been hailed as one of the best contemporary album,s of the 00s. 

The band will play a handful of special shows across six European capital cities, including Dublin's 3Arena. 

After the departure of two of their founding members, the album will be performed by Kele Okereke, on vocals and guitar), Russell Lissack on guitar, Justin Harris on bass and Louise Bartle on drums.

The gig kicks off on October 22, so we have something serious to look forward to once summer ends.

Okay, real talk!

Earlier this week, one of the music industry's most influential couples, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, announced a global stadium tour.

The super duo are due to perform at 36 venues across the US and Europe, including stops in Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and London.

And while we are beyond excited that super star couple are heading back on the road, there's just one thing we can't wrap our heads around – where's the Dublin date?

With that, we're calling on the Beyhive of Ireland to come together and convince the Carters to grace us with their presence this summer!

Make your voice heard by signing the petition below, (or by clicking here) and if we achieve our goal, we'll reach out to Jay and Bey!

It only takes a quick scroll through Daft.ie, or a passing glance in an estate agents window to realise that Dublin's property market is, for lack of a better term, in absolute bits.

Renters are forced to opt for sub-standard accommodation as they search for properties close to work or college, while first-time buyers are being priced out of the market left, right and centre.

Average house prices in Dublin have now surpassed the 400k mark, which, by our calculations, means we'll be the proud owner of a cosy three bed semi some time mid-2036.

It's enough to make you want to pack it all in and start a new life as dairy farmer on the east coast of Kerry – which, when you consider how much affordable housing becomes once you venture outside The Pale, actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. 

In an attempt to highlight just what you can get for your money, we've done some digging and discovered the dreamiest Cork mansion. 

Set in a tranquil location just a short distance from Fermoy, Ballyclough House is nothing short of a fairytale.

Sitting on just under 2 acres of lush gardens, this dream home boasts a wonderful staircase hall, two large reception rooms, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Oh, and the best part? This gorgeous Elizabethan style mansion is on the market for just €450,000.

Still a big chunk of cash, sure. But when you consider an apartment in Dublin 4 could set you back in excess of €1.5 million, it's serious value for money.

Suffragette Walking Tour

In Dublin of the 1900's you can hear the songs of the suffragettes and discover why the National Gallery was sent a warning letter from the police, where suffragettes went to learn ju-jitsu and which windows in Dublin Castle did Hanna Sheehy Skeffington smash?

The Irish Times Women's Podcast for International Women's Day

The Little Museum of Dublin and The Irish Times Women's Podcast are delighted to present a special episode of the podcast recorded live at the museum on the morning of International Women's Day, March 8th.

In 'What's She Doing Here? (And How Did She Get Here?)', host Kathy Sheridan will talk to women who work in male dominated fields – from an aircraft engineer to a fire officer – about the joys and challenges of their roles. They'll talk to the women about their jobs but also about the path they took to get here and what they've learned along the way.

The podcast will celebrate these groundbreaking women and preview an upcoming exhibition at the museum about women who feature in a new book by photographer Beta Bajgartova.

The podcast will begin recording at 8.30am sharp.

#MeToo – Then and Now, by The Trinity Long Room Hub, Arts and Humanities Research Institute.

On 6 February 1918, the ‘Representation of the People’ Act was enacted in the UK, giving approximately eight million people in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland the right to vote, including six million women. After decades of campaigning by suffragists, the Act extended the franchise to women over the age of 30 years if they were married to members of the Local Government Register or property owners. It did not give parity with men. Under the same Act, the majority of men aged over 21 were given the right to vote.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Trinity are partnering with the Institute of Irish Studies in Liverpool University for a discussion exploring if and how the position of women in society has changed over the century.

It will be part of the Trinity Long Room Hub’s Behind the Headlines discussion series. 

Tickets available here.

OK, ladies now let's get in formation! 

There's a Beyoncé brunch coming to Dublin next month, and we are BEYOND excited. 

In celebration of Internation Women's Weekend, Fearless Moves and GirlCrew have themed up to honour Queen Bey herself with an unreal fitness event on Saturday, March 10 at 10am in the Bernard Shaw.

Born from the idea that getting fit should be fun and social and not pure torture (hear, hear), Fearless Moves is a fitness event series featuring a deadly music theme, a banging DL, a whopper instructor and most importantly, delicious post-workout food. 

So, what can you expect? 

The workout will be a HIIT class with Jenni TRX hosting, along with Sarah Byrne (of Mother fame) on the decks playing the banging Beyoncé versus diva remix. 

The training session will be followed by a healthy brunch served from Café Marvel in the Bernard Shaw – which, let's be real, is the real reason we'll be going. 

The event is open to all fitness level, meaning you don't need to be a total gym bunny to join in with the tunes and chats. 

 

We couldn’t choose one way to celebrate GirlCrew’s birthday this year so we teamed up with @fearless.moves to celebrate it ALL THE WAYS! Hiit fitness class to Beyoncé tunes followed by brunch!

When choosing a tatto, it's essential to opt for something you're pretty sure you aren't going to get rid of. 

After all, they say that tattoos are forever. 

Luckily, if you have gotten over that tattoo you got on holidays or that piece that meant so much to you at one point but no longer does, that saying doesn't necessarily apply. 

Thanks to major developments in laser tattoo removal, it's now the easiest it has ever been to remove that regrettable ink. 

If you're looking to get some tattoo removal done in Dublin, there's a new bespoke laser removal innovation that just landed on Grafton Street. 

FADE is bringing skin therapy, tailored to each client individually, to the forefront, and we're pretty relieved – that tattoo we got in Thailand isn't looking as pretty as it did when we were 18.

'No matter what your reasoning the good news is that nobody has to feel like they need to “just live with it” anymore,' said FADE Founder Aidan O’Connell. 

'The permanency of tattoos is no longer something which has to be accepted, they can be dealt with.'

'Treatment is quick and painless for most people so stop staring in the mirror at your past mistakes and get on with looking to a tattoo-free future. With modern Picolaser technology, the incidence of fading and residue is minimised.'

The laser removal salon is the only dedicated tattoo removal service in Ireland, and their techniques can also be used for other skin isses. 

From treating fine lines to acne scarring, there are a number of skin therapy packs available. 

So long, wonky Thai symbol, hello clear skin.
