Dublin 1, also rendered as D1 and D01, is a postal district on the northside of Dublin, Ireland.

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]

Notable places

[edit]

The postcode covers a dense central area north of the River Liffey. It includes O'Connell Street,[6] Parnell Street,[7] Henry Street,[8] Jervis Street,[9] Mountjoy Square,[10] Parnell Square,[11] the International Financial Services Centre,[12] and parts of the northern Docklands.[13] It is home to Busarus,[14] Connolly Station,[15] the Custom House,[16] the Convention Centre Dublin,[17] and several of the north city quays. It also features urban secondary schools such as the O'Connell School[18] and Belvedere College[19] as well as third-level institutions such as the National College of Ireland.[20]
