Hello and welcome to That's Ireland. I'm Aidan and I'm going to be showing you around some
00:00:00
of Ireland's towns, villages and natural beauty spots. We start our tour here in Dublin, Ireland's
00:00:21
capital city. I'm on O'Connell Bridge and behind me is O'Connell Street, one of Europe's
00:00:29
widest urban streets.
00:00:34
Dublin is a city with a strong political history. I'm standing outside the General Post Office.
00:00:45
This building is a symbol of Irish nationalism. It is here where the proclamation of the Republic,
00:00:51
declaring Ireland's independence from the United Kingdom, was first read out on April
00:00:57
24th, 1916. We declare the rights of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland. This
00:01:02
event signified the start of what is known as the Easter Rising or Rebellion, a major
00:01:11
turning point in Ireland's history.
00:01:16
This is Dublin Castle in the heart of historic Dublin. The castle was built to defend the
00:01:25
city and to protect the King's treasure.
00:01:31
I'm here with Joe Darcy, a Dublin tour guide. Hello Joe.
00:01:41
Hello Aidan.
00:01:45
Joe, tell us something about the history of the castle and the role it plays in Ireland's
00:01:46
history.
00:01:50
The English, or the Anglo-Normans as they were at the time in the late 12th century,
00:01:51
they captured the town of Dublin and in the early 13th century they built a huge castle
00:01:56
here and this Dublin Castle became the centre of English or British rule over Ireland for
00:02:01
the next 700 years. The medieval castle was burnt in a dreadful fire in 1684, so it was
00:02:07
rebuilt towards the end of the 17th century and early 18th century, so the castle you
00:02:15
see around you now dates from then.
00:02:19
Thanks for talking to us Joe. Let's go and see a bit more of Dublin City.
00:02:22
The capital has changed enormously in recent years, but the city still manages to combine
00:02:27
the old with the new.
00:02:34
This is Trinity College, Ireland's oldest and most notable university. It was founded
00:02:37
in 1592 and former students include writers such as Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde.
00:02:43
The old library houses a priceless manuscript known as the Book of Kells, an illustrated
00:02:51
version of the New Testament created around 800 AD by Celtic monks.
00:02:57
Entrance to this building, the National Gallery, is free.
00:03:04
The collection has around 500 major works of art on display and a fine collection of
00:03:10
works by Irish artists.
00:03:15
Phoenix Park is the largest urban enclosed park in Europe and it's more than twice the
00:03:18
size of New York's Central Park.
00:03:24
This is the Wellington Monument. It commemorates the victories of the first Duke of Wellington
00:03:29
who was born in Dublin.
00:03:34
It's a bit cold today, but on a nice day this park is a real treat.
00:03:36
Now it's time to see what Dublin's nightlife has to offer. I've come here to Temple Bar
00:03:46
which is on the south bank of the River Liffey. This area has preserved its medieval street
00:03:51
pattern and has lots of narrow cobbled streets. This is the cultural part of Dublin and has
00:03:56
a really great nightlife which is really popular with the tourists.
00:04:03
Some traditional Irish hotspots are the Temple Bar pub, Oliver Syngin Gogarty's and the
00:04:08
Yale Dubliner.
00:04:15
Well I'm going to have a wander around and find somewhere to have a drink. We'll see
00:04:19
you next time again here in Dublin and we'll be visiting a very famous Dublin attraction.
00:04:23
Bye for now.
