Dublin began as a Viking settlement founded over one thousand years ago on
the banks of the River Liffey and situated on a majestic broad sweeping bay.
It became an administrative capital after the Norman conquest of Ireland in
the twelfth century and developed its own parliament and government
institutions under British sovereignty from the fourteenth century onwards.
During the eighteenth century, the city grew rapidly, building fine Georgian
architecture which still exists today. Towards the end of the nineteenth
century, Dublin became the centre of two great cultural movements - the
Gaelic League, aimed at restoring the Irish Language, and the Irish Literary
Renaissance. Dublin is now the thriving capital of an independent Ireland
and is the centre of the political, diplomatic, administrative and
commercial life of the country. It is home to a population of over one
million people. We hope that you will get to know the city while you are
here, and enjoy all the facilities that it has to offer.
