For example, if you are Korean, which restaurants in Dublin/Ireland come closest to offering genuine Korean cuisine?

Wondering what everyone thinks of a huge increase of Dublin Pubs using AI to generate posters/advertisements for gigs/events.

Its never been the case before that pubs have put out massive advertising pushes for live music but now, with AI accessibility, it seems to be on the rise - with what I think are unfortunate results.

I do a little bit of graphic design (so if anyone works in a pub and wants to reach out do!!) but it always disheartens me to see an AI graphic going up when we are in such a culturally creative city?

Hey guys bit of a niche one here, I’m looking to see would anyone ever be interested in going in on booking a screen somewhere in Dublin to watch the last 4 episodes of the last airbender show? It’s probably never been done before & not sure if it would be allowed but it’s a fun idea I wanted to see numbers before I enquire. It is absolute cinema after all
EDIT: the date that seems to suit most is the 28th of September! it seems like a lot of people would like to come so if you guys really have genuine interest could yous message me please!

I have little experience in gardening and now have a community flower bed and my own yard to have the pleasure of tending to. I've tried lupin in my mother inlaws garden but it all died. Looking for some ideas on native and local plants that do well with mininal tending.

I'd be particularly interested in evergreen plants that flowers so I can start a living arch at my front door.

Hi everyone. I bought a ticket for Diljit Dosanjh concert in Dublin, on 25 August. But I can’t travel to Ireland now. I’m looking for someone who’d like to buy it. I can provide proof of purchase, and transfer through Ticketmaster if possible.

Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with “Lucan School Of Motoring”. The reviews online are good but I want to pay in full and I’m concerned about the instructor not being a right fit. I’ve heard stories about instructors being mean and such. I know it’s advised not to pay in a lump sum but it works out a lot cheaper (€270 cheaper in this case).

Also if anyone has any recommendations for any driving instructors in Lucan, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks

I got my roof "fixed" by IrishRoofers.ie (Irish Roofers) and proceeded to have leaks after the work was done.

They then refused to come out since February, yes, over 6 months, while fobbing me off constantly. Is there a point at this stage of complaining to the ombudsman or taking them to small claims court or should I just write it off? Like, I'll have to get the whole roof replaced due to their work.

Hey lads, I'm starting a job in the south city centre next month and am looking at renting a place in Swords (Castleview, to be precise). I'm wondering what the best way to commute in would be if I'm to take it. I've no car so as far as I can tell, the only real options are to either get a bus or to cycle.

If I'm to get the bus, should I do Swords Express or Dublin Bus? I'm guessing the former, since even if the latter is a bit cheaper (especially with a Young Adult Leap Card) I don't think I'd want to be relying on Dublin Bus to be on time! I see a couple of ticket options on the Swords Express website, but I'm not sure what'd be the best way to go: Ten Journey, Monthly, Three Month, Annual...? And what're those "taxsaver tickets"? Are they something your employer has to buy for you? How likely is an employer to do that?

I also saw people mentioning cycling. What's that like? I've done feck all cycling since primary school and don't even own a bike at the moment, but maybe it'd be worth looking into?

Absolutely swore I booked it months ago and now can't find it. Looking for one to go with an old friend who's in town for the gig.

Hey everyone. So I’m moving to Dublin from the west in 4 weeks to start an undergraduate degree at 27, this whole thing is very new for me. I’m hoping anyone else who is in the same boat and sees this maybe we could get chatting? Also if anyone has experience with college as a mature student they have any advice? Thanks

Posting it here coz the mods at r/irishtourism deleted it.

Today is day 3 of our visit and I’ve noticed that so far all the restaurants that we visited have a pre-set tip percentage of 10 or 12%, 15%, 20%, and 30%. It’s very similar to North America, where it creates some awkwardness of you pressing “no tip” while the server is beside you looking at the screen. It’s not something that I’ve seen in other European cities. So far I’ve visited cities in Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, France, and in other parts of UK (London, Edinburgh, Glasgow) in the past 3 years.

How do locals feel about this? While we North Americans are used to tipping in restaurants, there’s been an increased frustration in Canada recently because a lot of food places that dont have table service started adding a pre-set tip option. Do you guys just ignore it and just refuse to tip?

So far we’re enjoying our stay here, and the people have been great (drunk Irish alcoholics dont faze me, my dad trained me well).

There is this lady that I know back home (I’m originally from Switzerland) who is really fascinated by fairies and Irish folklore, and she asked me if I could bring her a “fairy object” next time I’m home.

I don’t really know anything about fairies, so I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for shops, markets or places where I could find something to bring her. I’d like it to be something nice, not just a cheap souvenir. Thanks!

Mods, pls kindly approve this post.

Earlier I made a post about the tipping culture in Dublin, but I made a mistake with how i phrased the sentence, which made it seem like my undersranding is that Dublin is part of the UK. English is not my first language and sometimes I make grammar or spelling mistakes. Sometimes i forget to add punctuations, and it completely screws up my sentence. Sometimes i screw up when using has/had/have, but at least i know how to properly use there/their/they’re.

I’m terribly sorry to everyone, i know that Dublin is not part of the UK. Please, I ask kindly to forgive me. I know the what the Evil British Empire did, I know what Cromwell and Friends did. I know about the famine and what happened during the war of independence. Now, I dont claim to know everything, but i know enough to realize that i effed up so im sincerely apologizing to all Irish Nationalists, living or dead.
