I discovered a new word the other day. There’s a lot of talk on an architectural forum here of something called “The Campshires”. Now I know my Dublin well, but I didn’t know of any area of that name; perhaps it was a new one created out of the ongoing clearance and development of the Docklands, or perhaps it was just the name of some large-scale building project in progress.

Ranelagh Just three short stops from Stephen's Green on the Green Luas Line, Ranelagh sees sleepy students and affluent families reside together in perfect harmony. Best visited in the latter half of the day, it boasts some of Dublin's best restaurants and pubs outside of the city centre.
