The Dublin Docklands are the center of new development around Dublin city center. The IFSC, the O2 Arena, the National Conference Center, many hotels offices and apartments. An area of Dublin that was run down for years and has been undergoing development during the Celtic Tiger era. I like this side of Dublin and think it has great potential though it does not attract as many people at weekends and evenings as the city center. Parts of the city center are getting very run down and need redevelopment, old is nice but derelict is a bit of an eye sore.
