Map 38

With a population of just over one million, Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, is the best place in the world to study! With fifty per cent of its inhabitants aged under 25, it is a city overflowing with music, art, theatre, culture and fashion! Once the home of writers James Joyce, Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde, today its celebrated natives include singers Bono, Imelda May and actor Colin Farrell, to name just a few.

With its international and highly educated workforce, Dublin has been chosen by many multi-national companies, particularly internet-based ones, as the location for their European headquarters. Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter all have substantial bases in the city employing thousands of internet professionals from Ireland and all over the world.

Dublin,Ireland

The city boasts a large number of museums, art galleries and historical sites, most of which offer free entry. ISI is ideally located in the city centre, just across the river from Temple Bar – Dublin’s cultural quarter. The area around the school is famous for its charming fruit and vegetable markets, the bustling Henry Street shopping district as well as a variety of ethnic restaurants, trendy cafés and curiosity shops on Capel Street. A secret treasure is hidden in the vaults of our historic building: the remains of the 12th century St. Mary’s Abbey. Referred to in James Joyce’s Ulysses as ‘the most historic spot in all Dublin’, this small but beautiful 800-year old abbey run by the OPW, is regularly used by ISI students for school plays, projects, concerts and talent shows.
