7 About Dublin Home to over one million people, Dublin is a vibrant, dynamic European capital coastal city. It is alive with theatres, galleries, museums, shops, pubs, restaurants and nightclubs. In the urban centre it is hard to miss evidence of this fine city s historic past. From the remains of Viking settlements, through rows of elegant Georgian houses, to the streets and building referred to by James Joyce, Dublin is where the past meets the present. For many years, the works of Samuel Beckett, William Butler Yeats, Oscar Wilde and James Joyce have been a source of pride for the Irish Nation. Our rich literary heritage has also inspired many contemporary Irish writers, who have received international critical acclaim in their own right. Dublin is also home to our wonderful international musical talents U2, Enya and of course the Irish Dance phenomenon - Riverdance. Dublin is well established as a European hub and is home to operations of numerous world leading companies.
