The Encyclopaedia of Dublin

A new edition of the standard reference work on the city of Dublin which reflects the welter of change that has swept the city since the early 1990s.

---

In the 12 years since first publication of Douglas Bennett’s Encyclopaedia of Dublin, the city it described has changed beyond recognition. This new edition reflects those changes. In addition to re-writing most existing entries, he has included over eighty new ones.




Among the new entries are articles on the Digital Hub, The Dublin Docklands Development Authority, the Port Tunnel, the new signage system for orbital routes, the Ringsend Sewage Treatment Works, the Spire, and Standfast Dick.




The Encyclopaedia of Dublin is the standard reference work on the city. This new edition will consolidate Douglas Bennett’s reputation as the outstanding contemporary chronicler of the Irish capital.
