YES!

The Dublin Convention Bureau have released a short to hoover up all the Brexit business to showcase all that is wonderful about Dublin.

Despite being an eclectic city with superb facilities, steeped in heritage and surrounded by sea and mountain, Dublin’s biggest assets are its people. Time and time again visitors comment on their friendliness, their ability to host and their absolute professionalism.

Through shining a spotlight on the city’s major strength, this video highlights Dublin, its history and topography not to mention its fantastic facilities and conferencing centres.This is a flavour of who we are. This is Dublin.

Name that voice-over guy, he’s on everything.

Anyone?

    All the Dublin accents you hear working at hotel bars and receptions. The half finished stadium. That red line luas gauntlet. Those dazed and confused looking boys and girls with the pale faces, everywhere. And the puke, rivers of puke after 10pm. Glorious. And all for such great value. €100 really goes far in Dublin.

    But what city doesn’t have all that?

    You can’t beat the “real” Dubs. Such charm and character.

      It’s a bland, template-like video. A video with a budget and a brief from a quango. Pop in any secondary/tertiary city in Europe and the net result is the same.

      The dude in the striped shirt fixing his striped tie gives they whole show away. New Ireland – pure class. Everyone wants to come to Dublin. Because everyone loves the Irish. Especially New Ireland. It’s so much better than everywhere else. Because it is.

      The brief has been met. The budget spent. Well done everyone. Pats on the back all round.

      However, that €40k a year tech job advertised in India ain’t so great when you find out about the two hours of traffic every day, 41% tax, USC and that you’ll have to deal with “house mates” in the evenings. Did you hear about the cost of motoring? Lol. You’re better off working in London if you’re going to drudge it out for a few years. If lifestyle is your priority, Dublin is a mad option – there are far better options than Dublin.

      Red Luas line Gauntlet – Love it… i lived on the gauntlet line, used every other possible option to get into town, mug-walk, death-cycle or banter-bus, it’s like a rolling diorama of centuries of social neglect, really, really interactive…

    “Dublin’s biggest assets are its people.”
    Tell that the the american girls that were very badly beaten and robbed on there way home a few months back.

      yeah, that one incident committed by two scrotes from Shankill undoes everything that’s ever gone before it

    That’s just meaningless twaddle.

    BTW is it mandatory that the Calatrava bridge in the Docklands must feature in such ads? It seems to have become a signifier for a modern, progressive Ireland. Apt, but perhaps not in the manner intended.

    Yes, that’s why the Web Summit decided to leave town, because Dublin is such a gem of a city.

    Dear Jane, don’t believe you’re own press.
