Unceremoniously swiped from the excellent balls.ie this. Someone obviously took inspiration from RTÉ’s recent screening of “Knuckle,” an insight into bare knuckle boxing the Irish travelling community and decided to throw up a dedication to Big Joe Joyce on Leeson Street Bridge. Update: Apparently it’s been there for months. Ah well, just goes to show […]

Oldest graffiti in Dublin?
Posted in Dublin History, Photography on October 8, 2011| 7 Comments »
I always thought the No EEC graffiti near my house, dating back to the early 1970s, was old. That’s before I found out about the following. Have a look. Do you know of any other 18th, 19th or early 20th century graffiti or ‘unauthorized’ inscriptions? If so, leave a comment or drop me an email. […]
Dublin City Graffiti.
Posted in Uncategorized on March 22, 2011| 3 Comments »
This is a great new venture, DublinCityGraffiti.com It’s great to see stuff around the city worked into subcategories such as paste-ups, murals, stickers and stencils, with special sections for the ‘repeat offenders’. I snapped the picture at the top of this piece months and months back on a sunny morning walking to work. Since then, […]
‘So Hot Right Now’ – Irish Graffiti Documentary.
Posted in Events on March 6, 2011| 2 Comments »
‘So Hot Right Now’ will be shown this Wednesday, at 6pm up at the canteen of NCAD on Thomas Street. I don’t know much about graffiti, beyond knowing I prefer painted walls (with something to say…) to blank ones and Dublin is certainly a colourful city. So Hot Right Now hasn’t been available since 2006, […]
Graffiti Ghosts

If you look closely you can still find reminders of Grift’s legacy in Dublin. Grift, who was involved with the ICN (InCogNito) and RCS (RadiCalS) crews, was one arguably one of the most famous and influential graffiti artists in the city’s history. I spotted this in carving on a side of a table in The […]
Constructed in eight weeks: The Papal Cross and the Phoenix Park
Posted in Dublin History on August 23, 2018| Leave a Comment »
In March 2013 we published an article on the site looking at the Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park. For the week that is in it I have revisited this subject, and this is an expanded piece on the subject. The original comments are included below. Yellow and white pontifical flags are flying on the […]
A postcard from Dublin, sent 17 January 1920.
Posted in Dublin History on August 24, 2015| 10 Comments »
I recently picked up this postcard, which was sent from Dublin to Clones in Co. Monaghan during the War of Independence. Congratulating “my dear Harry” on the occasion of “your magnificent victory”, I can’t help but think and ponder what Aunt Mary might have been referencing! I love little historical artifacts like this, as they […]
The former life of a Talbot Street internet cafe
Posted in Dublin History on December 4, 2014| 12 Comments »
Covered in graffiti, the Five Star Internet Cafe on Talbot Street is an interesting building to look at from outside. Inside it is taken over by computers, telephones and pool tables, which give no real hint of the former life of this building. This building was once a church – a Welsh Presbyterian Church to […]

An application has been submitted to Dublin City Council to build a 400-bed student residence on an empty 2.5 acre site in Mill Street (formerly Tanner’s Alley) in the historic South Inner city area of The Liberties, Dublin 8. The €41m scheme will provide new retail, restaurant and office space for local businesses, an extensive […]

Dalymount Park, fresh from getting a pre-season lick of paint in the bars and corridors, got a lick of paint outside this weekend too as it played host to a selection of Dublin’s graffiti artists. Two-Headed Dog, Kevin Bohan, Marca Mix, Debut, Iljin, Tommy Rash, Kin Mx, Panda & Elroy and CJ Macken amongst others […]
Good news for Joyceans and Scaldy Mots
Posted in Dublin History on February 13, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Dublin has long prided itself on its literary heritage and history, and perhaps no work has put Dublin centre-stage in quite the same way as Ulysses. Many of the locations from Ulysses are still with us today, while others are no more. Nelson’s Pillar was lost in rather dramatic fashion, but others have just been […]
