Thousands turned out in the capital for the annual Dublin Pride procession, hailed by organisers as Ireland's foremost celebration of diversity and inclusion. The march set off from O'Connell Street, winding through the heart of the city before arriving at Merrion Square, where the festivities reached their vibrant peak.

Eva Green's arrival on Wednesday was meant to add another layer of gothic intrigue to Netflix's Addams Family universe. Instead, the focus has swung to Dublin, where the actress reportedly picked up an injury while filming the show's third season. The details need minding. Netflix has confirmed that Green sustained an injury on set and is recovering well, but reports that she was treated in hospital and that filming was briefly reshuffled have not been fully confirmed by the streamer.

Dublin can feel fairly continental when a hot spell settles over the capital. Streets seem brighter, buses feel slower, and the Liffey looks to shimmer under the afternoon sun. Yet Dublin has an advantage many capitals lack: a coastline close enough for spur-of-the-moment trips, but varied enough to feel like a proper summer change of scene. For Dubliners and visitors alike, the sea is not just a view.

The city of Dublin will be buzzing soon with the 34th GAZE International LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, running from 28 July to 3 August. For over thirty years, the event has been a vital fixture for Ireland's LGBTQIA+ community, showcasing a carefully chosen array of queer films from both local and global perspectives at venues including the Light House Cinema, the Irish Film Institute (IFI), and IMMA's outdoor Living Canvas.

Midlife does not land as one neat symptom. For many women, it starts with unsettled sleep, changing skin, lower energy, brain fog, or a quiet dip in confidence that’s hard to pin down. Nothing might seem dramatic, yet the day-to-day can suddenly feel different too. Those overlapping changes are exactly why Ageless Aging Live feels timely.

Alexander McQueen's return to London Fashion Week is more than just a diary call. It is a charged homecoming for one of Britain's most theatrical fashion houses, now led by Seán McGirr, the Dublin-born creative director tasked with sharpening its next chapter. For Irish fashion watchers, there's a particular pull to the moment. McGirr, trained in London and rooted in Dublin, is steering a global fashion name back towards the city that gave Lee McQueen his original stage.

Sure Dublin has always known how to turn a street into a sentence. Its lanes carry Joyce, Beckett, and O'Brien, but they also carry sirens, rents, rumours, and the rain. Keith Ridgway's Dooneen steps into that charged inheritance with a strange new map of the capital, and its shadows feel uncomfortably timely on the page.

In Dublin, a family's health crisis has become an urgent public appeal. Mrs. Ibrahim, a mam diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2022, is now bedbound after her condition worsened, leaving her family scrambling to secure treatment support. Her daughter Nancy is raising €10,000 for treatment in Nigeria, according to the family's appeal. The family says the savings are gone after emergency hospital bills, oxygen, tests, and care costs.

Dublin's luxury property scene has had its headline moment, and it comes with sea air, old granite, and a rich historic legacy. Inniscorrig, a castellated mansion in Dalkey, South Dublin, has sold for about €15.5m, making it Ireland's priciest home sale of 2026 so far. The deal stands out not only for its price, but for what it represents, the enduring strength of heritage homes in prime coastal locations.

Set against the unmistakable backdrop of Dublin, the drama explores grief, trauma and the fragile line between memory and reality.
