Description
Rathmines started as an elegant residential town for wealthy Dubliners who fled the cramped streets of the city centre in the mid-19th century. With up to 10,000 soldiers of all stripes stationed in Dublin at the turn of the 20th century, Rathmines with its nearby Portobello (now Cathal Brugha) Barracks was a thriving residential and business centre. After Independence, with the withdrawal of troops, civil servants and the exodus of middle class unionists, Rathmines found itself down on its uppers. From the 193os the area was synonymous with the definition “Flatland”, housing students and workers in pursuit of inexpensive accommodation. Today it’s a diverse and vibrant community with a mix of swanky houses and modest apartments, chic restaurants and grubby stores.
