Area profile

edit

D1 lies entirely within the Dáil constituency of Dublin Central. Dublin Central is one of the most densely populated and socially and ethnically diverse areas in Ireland.[1] The postcode consists of most of the northern city centre,[citation needed] affluent white collar areas around and including Mayor Square,[citation needed] and traditional working class areas such as Sheriff Street.[2] In 2019, the Irish Independent reported that Dublin City Council embarked on a plan to improve lighting and surfacing in the area's laneways[3] while Ireland's National Tourism Development Authority has said the regeneration of a historic part of Dublin 1 tied to the Easter Rising is "long overdue".[4] The American Institute of Architects has been hired by a local business group to help regenerate the area, which they say faces "civic schizophrenia" and "a split personality".[5]
