What is this Blog

I am new to blogging and this is my first attempt. I have started this blog as part of an assessment I need to do for the course I am doing in Web Technologies at the National College of Ireland.

In this blog I hope to be able to give you a taste of Dublin life and the people who live here. I will try to give an insight into Dublin through the years and also what life is like now in these new times of austerity and recession.

I will have links to sites which I feel are worth visiting to get information and also a list of things to do if you ever happen to visit this lovely city.

There is also the important issue of the election of the 9th President for Ireland on October 27th this year and I will have a section of the blog that gives information about the race to Áras an Uachtaráin (House of the President). The current President is Mary McAleese who is in office since November 1997 and is just finished her 2nd 7 year term as President and therefore can no longer hold office as per the Irish Constitution

The information and the facts that appear will be hopefully interesting and useful, if there is anything that you would like me to include that you think may be of interest please pass it on to me.
