Dublin

Since I am going to study in Dublin, I decided to do a little research on the city and I wanted to share some of it with you! 


Flag of Dublin

  • Dublin is officially known in Irish as Baile Átha Cliath
  • The English name is derived from the Irish Dubh Linn (meaning "black pool")
  • Located in Leinster province 
  • Women outnumber men in Dublin by 10,000
  • Around 9800 pints of beer are drunk each hour by Dubliners from Friday night to Monday morning (yummy!) 
  •  
    O’Connell Bridge is the only bridge in Europe that is as wide as it is long
     

Well, I hope you enjoyed a little info about Dublin! 


Until next time,
