+==History== <!----Write below this line--->
-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.
