Dublin is the largest city and capital of the Republic of Ireland, becoming the principal city following the Norman invasion at the end of the 12th century. Between 1801 and 1922 the country was part of the United Kingdom. In 1916, Dublin was the scene of the failed Easter Rising, where a group of Irish republicans launched an armed insurrection to end British rule, which led to the subsequent War of Independence, and then a civil war between nationalists and republicans.
The city has a reputation for being lively and exciting. Live music can be heard all around the city, especially in Temple Bar, on the south bank of the River Liffey, and Grafton Street - in fact, U2 and Sinead O'Connor started their careers here. Apart from renowned singers, actors such as Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell all came up through the city's theatrical scene.
