A collection of images of notes left at the mural of Savita Halappanavar during the 2018 referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment will now be available long-term as a digital archive.

We are moving our digital collections to the Digital Repository of Ireland. You can also browse curated image galleries highlighting aspects of Dublin's history on Dublin City Libraries on flickr. 

Dublin is a city obsessed with sports. On any given weekend, thousands head to Croke Park, Dalymount Park, Santry Stadium, and the Aviva Stadium to bear witness, to discuss, and to dissect their favoured teams. Sport informs debate in offices, shops, street corners, and pubs. The city hums with anticipation and excitement on the eve of major sporting events. These images pay tribute to Dublin’s sporting heritage and the role sport plays in community life. It celebrates all who have engaged – from Olympians to Corinthians.
