About the Venue

Dublin Castle is the heart of historic Dublin. In fact the city gets
its name from the Black Pool - ‘Dubh Linn’ which was on the site
of the present Castle garden. The Castle stands on the ridge on
a strategic site at the junction of the River Liffey and its tributary
the Poddle, where the original fortification may have been an
early Gaelic Ring Fort. Later, a Viking Fortress stood on this site -
a portion of which is on view to visitors at the ‘Undercroft’.

Rebuilt in the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries Dublin Castle
has functioned as a military fortress, a prison, treasury, courts
of law and the seat of English Administration in Ireland for
700 years. It is now used for important State receptions and
Presidential Inaugurations.
