Foreword
Dublin is a modern 21st century city with a rich cultural heritage and a dynamic economic and social environment. Dublin is enlivened by a rich cultural diversity and vibrancy with a network of strong communities. Dublin welcomes newcomers, those who come to live, work, study, visit or invest in our city. It strives to include and integrate newcomers, to respect and recognise diversity while minimising dierence. A new city can be an exciting prospect. However, it can also be an intimidating and challenging experience, presenting a bewildering labyrinth of institutional, cultural and informational challenges. People need help to access their rights and entitlements, to get accommodation, employment, education and a myriad of other life critical issues. The Dublin City Centre Citizens Information service provides quality information, advice and advocacy service from its service points in OConnell Street and North King Street. In the last decade this service has helped newcomers to Dublin from all over the world. The Dublin City Public library service has a proud history of providing a comprehensive range of services to Dubliners new and old. The Central library, Ilac Centre has been pivotal to the experience of newcomers to Dublin since it opened in 1986. The North West Inner City Networks Intercultural Working Group supports the integration of ethnic minorities and addresses the issue of racism in the locality. The three organisations who have worked together in partnership have contributed to making this directory a high quality, comprehensive publication. Thanks are also due to Map-maker, Pat Liddy and Designer Fiona Burns.
Particular thanks go to Deirdre Casey, Development Manager, and the sta of Dublin City Centre Citizens Information Service, to Geraldine OBrien, Senior Librarian, Dublin City Public Libraries and her colleagues, to Agnieszka Wiesyk, Intercultural Worker with the North West Inner City Network. I wish to acknowledge the support and grant aid provided by Dublin City Council, the Citizens Information Board, the Reception and Integration Agency and the Board of Dublin City Centre CIS. This Map and Directory is the result of joined-up working delivering a positive outcome for the client, the information seeker. It comes from the fusing of information skills and the experiences gained from frontline service delivery which identied the need and plotted the course through the information network available in Dublin. To you the user of this map and directory, we hope it helps you nd your way.
