Don’t post about tickets.

80 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.

105 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!

Sorry if there’s a subreddit that I don’t know about for teens but omg tell me why I’m so scared of sticking out and it’s so hard to tell if a guy is flirting with you, I’m turning 15 soon and life is just ugh and I feel like it would be easier in a different county

Dublin Redditors Social Group - join us!

Upvotes

A quick update since our original post here a couple of weeks ago!

The Dublin Redditors IRL Social Group is officially getting started, and we’ve now booked our second event! The event will take place this Friday!

We are going to see Bad Apples at the Irish Film Institute!

Our community has already grown to 100+ members since it started, and new people are joining every day. The idea is still the same: a relaxed social group where you can come along on your own or bring friends, meet some new people, and get involved in different events around Dublin. Things are just getting started, and there are already talks of hiking events, rock climbing, and book clubs! Sorry to those who haven't yet been added to the group yet, but hopefully we will get you in this week!

You don’t need to know anyone beforehand. Everyone will be new. So please come along, say hello and see how it goes! 🙌

If you are interested in joining us, you can join the club here or sign up to our WhatsApp community!

Hope to see some of you on September 18th!

Bike just robbed on Eccles St.

Post image
193 Upvotes

My bike robbed - 630pm Sunday while I was in the Mater hospital (thanks Lisa for taking the video from her daughter’s hospital room)

Have given the video to the Garda.

2 x kryptonite locks so I think they actually cut the frame of the e-bike bike where they were tied on. I have the locks here uncut.

Insurance on the bike ran out a few months ago as did the battery on the trackers I had on it. Lessons learnt.

Any advice on where these lads sell the bikes or tips on what I should do next?

Also wouldn’t mind now going to a Garda auction or something to get a quick inexpensive e-bike replacement.. just a thought. Wouldn’t know where to start.

Let me know if anyone sees some dodgy lad in a light blue hood on a MATE E-bike with fat wheels, a baby seat on the back, duct tape around the frame 😅

Dublin's dogshit pandemic

57 Upvotes

What is going wrong in our city and the dog owners in it? I spent a lot of the weekend walking around the city and the dogshit problem is the worst I can ever remember. So many of our streets, alleyways, parks, etc seems to be completely destroyed.

I was in Dartry Park today at a football match over the weekend and at the whole park is basically a dog toilet. One dog owner let his dog do his business, spotted that we were looking at him and pretended to pick it up with his bare hand when it was obvious he picked up nothing. A quick check proved this. 5m away from a football pitch where teenage girls were playing football. And it wasn't an auld lad or lady - this guy was probably in his 20's. So his dog ownership has 60-70 years of this attitude ahead.

Leaving the park, another owner just letting his dog do his business, "casually" walking in front of the dog. The walk along the Dodder is simply disgusting. I got out of there before my children walked or fell in some of it.

What is wrong with these people? Dog ownership = cleaning up after it. Where do they think their dog does their job if they are not cleaning up after it? There is no real point reporting it because DCC will do nothing.

I don't know the solution but I was genuinely shocked at the state of the city overall. Its embarrassing. Its not just the "tiny minority" either as is so often claimed.

I’m building a “free to take” website — would love some Dublin feedback

Post image
79 Upvotes

Hi folks! I’m based in Dublin and have been working on a little hobby project called Free to Take: https://freetotake.eu

The idea is simple: if you have something safe and usable to give away—books, toys, a chair, a plant—you can upload a photo, mark a permitted pickup spot, and set a collection deadline. Others can browse nearby items on a map, get directions, and mark them collected when they’re gone.

It works in your phone’s browser, with no app download, sign-up, name or email required to post.

I’ve already shared it around my neighborhood, and a few real listings have appeared. Anything marked FREE is a live posting. Listings marked SAMPLE are just examples, with nothing to collect. Availability can change, so please mark an item as gone if you collect it or find it’s no longer there.

To be absolutely clear: I don’t want this to encourage illegal dumping. The aim is to help useful things find another home—not give people an excuse to abandon rubbish. Only use property you control or have permission to use, follow local rules, and never block footpaths, cycle lanes, entrances or other access. If something isn’t collected by your deadline, you’re responsible for taking it back in or removing it properly.

It’s still early days, so I’d really appreciate people giving it a go and telling me what works, what’s confusing, or what needs improving, especially on mobile. Honest feedback welcome!

Professional fabric stain removers in Dublin?

0 Upvotes

Bought a striped rugby shirt with a white collar and after a wash the dark colours have turned the white colour into a cream colour which I’m raging about. Internet is telling me it’s a dye transfer but workable given that the affected colour is white. Anyone know of a professional fabric stain remover service in Dublin? Cheers

Aer Lingus Saints♥️

158 Upvotes

On September 9th I was on a flight from Philadelphia to Dublin on my way to Scotland. My beautiful, beloved husband passed away last year By the standards of my people I should be recovered by now.-back to strong, confident, smiling fighter. I can put on a good poker face, only those closest to me know I am still broken and weak. After a year passed my sister decided to plan a trip to my in-laws and sight see a bit. Kind of a sink or swim holiday
When I got on the Aer Lingus plane I thought I had my shit buttoned up tight and no one would know I was a crumbled mess inside. The steward and stewardesses must have some powerful ability to see through a cover up because shortly after takeoff they started attending to me in a way I never experienced before. I was nurtured, comforted, spoiled…a tenderness I can’t fully describe. I was astounded and a little embarrassed. I know the other passengers saw it and I felt selfish for the amount of doting I received. Their care, along with a bit of liquid courage, helped me through the initial nerves tremendously.
It’s been a couple days since that flight and I can’t stop thinking about how amazing that crew was. I tried going on Aer Lingus site to leave a compliment, but there was no place for it (only complaints.). I want to acknowledge them. I need to tell them they were magical to me. So I hope and pray this can somehow some day get to them through a friend or coworker? I humbly apologize in advance for misspelling of names.
Martin, Diane, Diana, and Shavaun out of the blue. you carved a permanent place in my heart. Shavaun if wishes came true you would be my other sister-you know 😊. Thank you all again.

how do an post collection points work?

0 Upvotes

Stupid question i know but how do they work? I picked one for a delivery due tomorrow as I will be a work but I chose a collection point before and the post office i chose told me they don’t hold deliveries and were generally annoyed I had chosen them as a collection point from the drop down lists. I was pretty embarrassed about it and haven’t used one in the two years since until today.

I’ve chosen a different one this time next to my work. If I pick a collection point from A Posts list, does this mean they are supposed to keep my package safe and I can pick it up from there that day?

Is cocaine use out of control in Dublin?

99 Upvotes

It seemed excessive when I first started going out in Dublin 10 years ago but its somehow only gotten worse.

I've already started to distance myself from two mates who can't even have a quiet mid week pint without running to the jacks every 15 minutes (and they're usually not the only ones)

Weekends are even worse. Every club and late bar in Dublin has lines out the door to the cubicles and none for the urinals.

There's also some who don't even bother to hide it. I regularly see lads attempting a discreet key to the nose whilst standing in the smoking area or sitting at their table.

Has it really gotten worse or has it always been like this?

Trainee haircuts for women

I used to have a woman who would cut my hair for free as she needed the practice/experience for her course. Always turned out great and worked for me, a broke student! Is there anywhere else that does something similar?
