Dublin

Trying to get around the city hasn't been particularly easy these past few years thanks to the Luas Cross City works, but now the end is in sight.

And it looks pretty damn good.

With the news that the first tests will be carried out this June, it looks like we won't have long to wait, and now an official picture has been released of what the Luas lines will actually look like.

As well as the Green and Red Line, there's going to be the Cross City Line which has brought with it an abundance of new stops.

Dawson Street, Westmoreland Street, College Street, O’Connell Street, Parnell Street, Dominick Street and Marlborough Street will welcome new Luas stops, as well as Boombridge, Tallaght and Cabra.

With test runs being carried out during the summer months, there also has to be extensive driver training, so it's looking like the big launch will be December 2017.

Are we already planning our Christmas shopping route? Yes.

We're big fans of doughnuts in the SHEmazing! HQ, and now one very special selection of the confectionery treats have been adorned with a particular seasonal treat we can't get enough of. 

Dublin sugar haven Sweet Republic are revolutionising the Easter treat options by creating the Creme Egg doughnut. 

The doughnuts have attracted a lot of attention, after Sweet Republic uploaded a delicious picture of them to Instagram.

The new doughnut creations have a chocolate glaze,a long with some crumbly Flake toppings and, of course, a delicious Creme Egg to top it all off. 

We're seriously getting hungry(and a sugar rush) just looking at them. 

We hope no one gave up chocolate for Lent, because these treats are too good to miss.

The doughnuts are available from Sweet Republic on Bachelor's Walk, Dublin.

If you think you have what it takes to be the next Little Mix, Leona Lewis or Louisa Johnson, then listen up. 

The X Factor is in town, and they are looking for the next symphonic star. 

If you have a penchant for a tune or two, then you need to make your way to St Stephen's Green Shopping Centre from today until Sunday. 

The show is welcoming both groups and solo singers, as long as they're over 16 years of age.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. 

There are three easy ways to sign up to audition, one of which is simply showing up to the audition on the day.

The second is registering online here for one of the Open Audition cities, such as Dublin and Belfast. 

You can also send in your own video audition as part of the registry. 

Auditions kick off at 9am each morning, so warm up those vocal cords and get queuing.

Yep, you read that right. An actual ice cream festival is coming to Dublin and we couldn't be more excited.

Taking inspiration from the UK's Ice Cream Festival, the two-day event is expected to take Irish desserts to the next level.

As well as being able to sample local produce, there will also be a comfy lounge area and DJ, so you can relax to "summer beats and many freezing specials."

The festival will take place on August 12 and 13, yet the location and exact times are to be announced.

And with all this chat about sweet, tasty ice cream, we decided to count down our top 5 desserts across Ireland:

5. Fallon & Byrne's vegan dark chocolate coconut mousse

And with gingerbread pudding too, this dessert not only looks amazing, but tastes great too.

You know you're always guaranteed a good time in Fade Street, but this pavlova with chantilly cream and white chocolate is a cut above the rest.

3. Market Lane's dessert specials

Whether it's a Paddy's Day lime pie or some colourful meringues, Market Lane in Cork always has a great selection of desserts on special offer from time to time.

2. Brasserie On The Corner's vanilla crème brûlée

With cinnamon, rum and raisin ice cream, we can't think of anything better for a Friday night feast in Galway.

 

1. Queen Of Tart's… well, everything

This café specialises in cakes, pasteries and of course, tarts. So, you can pretty much grab anything you fancy. And it's all super delicious too.

It's turning out to be a great year for music fans, and now one more performer is setting his sights on Ireland.

George Ezra has announced that he's taking his tour over to our lovely green isle.

George will play in Belfast on May 26 and in Derry on May 27.

He'll then make his way to Dublin's Olympia on May 29, and carry on to Limerick, where he will play in the Milk Market on May 30.

The singer recently spoke about his hiatus from being in the public eye on Twitter.

He said: "There is no need for me to point out the fact that I’ve been fairly quiet over the last year.

“But I’d like to reassure you all that I’ve been beavering away at what will one day be my second record.

"It took a second to work out what it was that I wanted to write about, and then how to approach the writing and recording process."

We're looking forward to seeing him live!

Last night, a number of areas and roads were introduced with a new, slower speed limit.

Dublin City Council’s Environment and Transportation Department announced the news on Friday, with mixed reactions from the public.

The new limit will generally not effect arterial roads in and out of the city centre, but instead, has been introduced in residential areas.

Is this a little sign that travelling around the city may be getting a little bit easier?!

It has been announced that a brand spankin' new DART station is going to be opened near the Kiliney area in South Dublin.

The new stop will be called Woodbrook Shanganagh, which is being built to coincide with the government's plan to build new houses in Dublin City.

However, don't get too excited just yet, because it'll be about four years until the new station will be complete.

Still though, this will be a great addition to people living and commuting in the area!

So, the clocks are going forward on Sunday, and we're losing an hour of sleep but gaining a fine stretch to the evening. 

The weather is officially warming up this weekend, and we want to take the opportunity to live a little.

Here's a few suggestions for things to do now that the clocks are going forward. 

5, Hit up a food festival

Dublin's Eatyard has become a hub of delicious food, drinks and fun, with a complimentary medley of authentic cultural cuisine, flea market finds and a laid-back atmosphere.

The food festival is located by the Bernard Shaw on Richmond Street South, and now that the days are getting longer, there is a plethora or time to spend mooching and munching your way around the stalls.

And the light will be better for amazing foodie Instagram pictures, obviously. 

4. Have a garden party

Get the girls around for a few Tom Collins cocktails and lay out some blankets, poofs and throws in the garden to create your own uber-cool laid-back mini-festival.

You could even string some fairy lights through the trees if you are feeling fancy.

3. Dining al fresco

Drag the kitchen table outside and dine al fresco, or even rev up the barbecue and grill a few burgers.

While the weather may not be perfect, we better make the most of it while we can!

2. Go for that epic day trip you've been meaning to take

Whether it's a trip to Lahinch to try your hand at surfing or finally heading up to the Giant's Causeway like you've always wanted, those extra hours of daylight make all the difference when you have a long drive to take across the country. 

1. Explore your city

Seriously, you've lived in your town for how long and you haven't quite managed to see al the parks, beaches and activities it ahs to offer.

Getting that extra stretch in the evenings is the perfect excuse to take a picnic to the park or cycle around your city to truly appreciate your area.
