These north Dublin attractions will be highlighted with a new tourism trail

Members of the public will be encouraged to rediscover the rich cultural heritage of Dublin’s northside.

A NEW TOURISM trail and website were launched this evening, with the aim of highlighting some of the most iconic attractions on Dublin’s northside.

The new Dublin Northside Attractions (DNA) initiative takes in 12 of the city’s most vibrant attractions, inviting members of the public to rediscover “the rich cultural heritage” of north Dublin.

“As a proud northsider, I am very familiar with the myriad places of interest and sites of historical significance located on Dublin’s northside,” commented Minister for Tourism Paschal Donohoe today.

“Many of these are well known worldwide; some to a lesser degree.The aim of this initiative is to bring these attractions together under one umbrella organisation so that they can have a greater impact as a cohesive unit than they would by working independently.”

These are the attractions that will be highlighted:

Old Jameson Distillery
