Dublin extra –

Forgot to include my Dublin Trivia –

Dublin has the youngest population in all of Europe. Approximately 50-percent of the population is less than 25-years of age.

There are 10-million pints of Guinness produced daily in Dublin and over 600 pubs in Dublin.

Dublin was originally called Dubh Linn meaning Black Pool. The pool to which the name referred is the oldest known natural treacle lake in Northern Europe and currently forms the centerpiece of the penguin enclosure in Dublin Zoo.

Dublin’s O’Connell Bridge was originally made of rope and could only carry one man and a donkey at a time. It was replaced with a wooden structure in 1801. The current concrete bridge was built in 1863 and was first called “Carlisle Bridge”. It is the only traffic bridge in Europe, which is wider than it is long.
