Blessington Street Basin is a romantic oasis that opened in 1810. Originally a reservoir, this sanctuary of calm has evolved into one of Dublin's last secret gardens, just a short stagger from the chaos of Upper O'Connell Street.
Its first fresh water source was Lough Owel in Westmeath, the water was piped via the Royal Canal and supplied uisce to the north city until 1865, then continued supplying the distilleries until the 1970s, with Jameson stopping in 1970 and Powers in 1976.
Originally called the Royal George Reservoir, the basin contains about 15 million litres. Eventually, it proved too small for our growing city's requirements, so that's why itbwas used by the whiskey lads as a production source for decades.
It benefited from a refurbishment in 1994, after an unusual false start. A German environmental artist named Dieter Magnus was brought over, sponsored by the Goethe-Institut, to propose a new design and locals exercised their people power and rejected it outright. Tut mir leid, Herr Magnus!
But the rejection had an unintended consequence, spurring residents and businesses into a fundraising drive that eventually got the job done themselves. The park was reopened on 4 November 1994 by President Mary Robinson and Lord Mayor John Gormley.
The charming artificial island in the centre of the lake is home to ducks, swans, and the occasional heron. But a different type of wings lays claim to the large array of plant life, as there are beehives in the park too.
Local artist Austin McQuinn was commissioned to produce a series of bronze sculptures incorporated into the north boundary wall, entitled Natural Histories, drawing on natural forms and theyre deadly.
There are literary connections too, with a plaque unveiled by David Norris in 2018 carries a quote from Joyce's Ulysses referencing the Basin, and a second plaque commemorates Iris Murdoch. The Basin also features in Andrew Hughes's novel The Coroner's Daughter, the Dublin UNESCO City of Literature One City One Book selection for 2023.
Less expected is one of the park's other residents. Phibsboro Amateur Boxing Club calls the Basin home. A boxing club inside a walled Victorian reservoir is, in this time travellers humble opinion, a perfectly Dublin arrangement.

@ItsConorBehan @MuuMuse Have you seen the reply the mother put out after her response? Do people really care that much if she is or isn't rude to fans or sends security on them? It's all very odd.

@grok @cupoftea80 @MickOKeeffe An employment permit issued does not mean the person travelled to Ireland and is working, they might not take the job and they still need a visa so some may not have been granted one.

Based on available data:
- Births in Ireland (2025 estimates): ~145 per day total. If "Irish babies" means births to Irish-national mothers, ~104 per day (extrapolated from CSO Q1 data showing ~107/day).
- Visas to Indian nationals: No official sources confirm 183/day. 2024 employment permits to Indians were ~37/day; 2025 totals are similar but not specific to Indians.
Numbers seem approximate; full 2025 stats may not be finalized yet.

@Matt83278765 @TheLiberal_ie yes and no. Opening businesses, yes. Paying their dues/taxes etc., questionable. I know a Chinese cake-maker down here in Cork, has her own business, pays zero taxes. Bought her house for cash.

@LouisStaples No love, unfortunately I have “hung out” with straight corporate men and I’d say you’d be disgusted how they talk about “queer” as simply a market to exploit.

Just watched the Oscar nominated The Alabama Solution on @NOW_Ireland. What hellhole is Alabama, keeping slavery alive and well, while they kill off inmates. Now further retaliation for speaking out. #TheAlabamaSolution #Oscars2026 @TheAcademy

@_dmartinez @TheJusticeDept That councilman saying that those convicted deserved to die was absolutely shocking, especially in the context of James Sales, (15yrs for more or less trespassing) mysteriously dies a month before release after witnessing the beating to death of Steven Davis by prison guards.
English

Inmates are in prison for a reason and they should pay for the crimes they committed. However, the @TheJusticeDept is failing the justice system by allowing the prison administrators and correctional workers go unpunished for their crimes against inmates #HBO #TheAlabamaSolution

Sorry, I don't feel bad about this. You're criminals and convicted of crimes. You shouldn't have commited them then. Its what you deserve.#TheAlabamaSolution
