DUBLIN’S MANSION HOUSE is opening its doors this weekend to the public to mark 100 years since the first Dáil met in the building’s iconic Round Room.
Located on Dawson Street, the Mansion House is the residence of the Lord Mayor and has been owned by Dublin City Council, or the Dublin Corporation before it, for 305 years.
It is the oldest free-standing residential home in Dublin, and has been the scene of everything from the anti-conscription conference in 1918 to the signing of the War of Independence truce
“This building is oozing with history,” Lord Mayor Nial Ring said.
Watch the video above for more. The Mansion House is open to the public from Friday, January 18, to Sunday, January 20. The Round Room will not be accessible on Sunday.

Fantastic work. Well done.
Well done, looks great
Fantastic , well done to them
Nice to see people caring about where they live, so many people don’t care about where they live and just drop litter
Over 10,000 views. Positive energy news attracts lots of interest as well. Congratulations to this lady and all involved. Looks really excellent.. from further down the Royal Canal in Mullingar where we base our local Park Run – another great volunteer community initiative.
The Royal Canal is only 2-3 miles from where I live, and with warm weekends like we’ve just had, it’s a hive of activity. I drove past it on Saturday, a large canal boat was moving through the locks, and groups of teenagers jumping off the locks. It would have been terrible to have lost the canals.
Great work but are the councils neglecting their duty. Where is our tax going exactly?
@Pat Redmond: The councils can’t do everything. Besides, isn’t that the reason there’s so much litter still, litterlouts believe the
council will pick it up.
These louts are also the ones who destroy our beaches in sunny weather.
@Patrick Agnew: I just wanted to whine to someone
So did the ascetics ….
Love that auld triangle!
