This is the last video from Dublin now, until I go over again in a couple of months time. Next week you're being treated to some trains up in the Pennines!
the trams in Dublin look amazing and im loving the spar which looks amazing & i now wish every spar was like that one over here in the Uk brilliant vlog
The building on Abbey Street that was in the glass building, was the church hall, for the church beside the hall. That is not in glass. Also they needed more office space, and they are not allowed to pull then the church hall, so they built the glass building around it.
Brilliant video Jen, the Spa you visited in this looks amazing, shame the ones here in the UK aren't as epic.
Hi Jen,
Great 2nd video of Luas/Dublin, the tram system there looks wonderful. I'll have to put that on my "bucket list"...🙂
Good luck with your Pennines trip, heard on the news today that some of the Trans Pennine services are going to be cancelled as passenger numbers are down...
Take care...

I found out recently that Dublin means “Blackpool!” 😆
Loved that spar - it’s very similar to the ones in the Netherlands :)
Great video - I need to go back to Dublin!
your hair is amazing, even with the wind blowing it out it looks great…😎
Ah, the LUAS! I was in Dublin last year... my only previous visit was way back in 1991, so it was well overdue. Anyway I was eager to ride the trams and they were as good as I'd hoped. Unfortunately I didn't sample a Dublin Spar... had no idea they were that good, so it looks as though I'll have to return, doesn't it? I look forward to your next report to include the DART, which of course is smashing and set to expand. 🙂
Epic Jen, not you to turn down a Costa! But those Spar are pretty epic
I think it depends on who runs them. In Scotland, there are franchise spars and company run spars, I worked for the company owned ones for 10yrs, but at the time the best ones were Botterills
2:59 this is something that I’ve noticed in recent years coming home to Ireland from Manchester - I’m delighted to see that you are getting to experience the LUAS Trams in Dublin, which I’d love to see the LUAS network being expanded and extended - the DART and DART underground is about to undergo huge investment by the Irish government - one of my many friends in Ireland include a group of Nuns at the Poor Clare’s (my late Dad’s former employers) and I visit them when I come home, near the Sandymount DART station behind the RDS
A building within a building is typically for restoration purposes, but if the building is too far gone to restore to a point where it can withstand the elements they'll just keep it inside. Like an ailing pet.
I was watching Geoff's channel about the 777 and thought: "Where's Jen?" and then this video dropped and I remembered, you are in Ireland. Funny, I know, a Swede keeping tabs on people in the British Isles.
Same tbh! But then, I’m also weird enough to keep an eye on the weather where my friends in Sweden live
I would like to go to Dublin and the Republic of Ireland. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself in Dublin. Both Dublin and Ireland do have the best trains. 😊
3:20 I visited the SPAR in Manchester on Oxford Road last weekend and it had Dunkin Donuts (which I've never seen in a SPAR before) so maybe they'll take your feedback on board. Then I walked to St Peter's Square afterwards and found myself shouting "TRAM!" (didn't get on one sadly) lol I've watched too much RUclips 😂
Great video as always Jen
Looking forward to your continuing adventures in Dublin, Jen! If you need a companion for the DART, I’d be happy to grab my Leap card and join you, whilst catching up on family 👍
Found out some years ago that Spar is actually Dutch. Saw their supermarkets all over Europe except in the Netherlands. But since a few years Spar is opening small inner city supermarkets here that look like the one in Dublin. And they have nice coffee too 😉
Prob got one of the last IE diesel services up from Waterford via Bray to Dublin , had breakfast on it from Bray early one morning. I could tell tales of Dublin past and the family history C18th, been back , its large to walk round and no trams when I last went
Busáras looks like it's had a refurb! I pre driving when taking trips to the west of Ireland to visit family. (Foxford, Co Mayo to be exact) Would get the overnight coach from Manchester to Foxford and would have a couple of hours wait there for the first coach out west going to Foxford.
Also Irish petrol stations like the Spar's top trump English ones by a country mile, there's nearly always a hot food counter or a Subway etc and space to eat in also, as Jonathan will well know!
The Busaras bus station reminds me of St Margaret's in Leicester.
So fun!
Isn't Jarves a character from Marvel? You need to go back and do the canals. Great story behind why there are two, one in the north and one in the south of the city. The mainline stations are really magnificent!
Did you see the question about how many service stations there are in the UK on RIchard Osman's House of Games the other evening?
Oooh I think you should have taken the chance to go into an overseas Costa. Even if to by a cookie or something. 😢
Can't believe you were asked not to film in a bus station 😶. Great video as always 🙂
The SPARs in Ireland are great and I do agree Jen, the Manchester SPARs are just depressing. However... just imagine say the large SPAR in Piccadilly was as good as that one in Dublin? Morrisons Market Street would have some competition that's for sure.
Jen back in '92 i visited Ireland (north and south) after university. Dublin was so different then, very Irish, less European, women with prams stuffed with cigarettes selling them on O'Connell Street, amateur musicians in every smoke-filled bar, old cars everywhere, real people with real stories, i just loved it. And when you crossed into Northern Ireland it was like heading into the modern world, big motorways and the legacy of a successful 80s Britain (albeit helicopters carrying troops from hilltop fort to hilltop fort). But over the years it changed and now it's the opposite, the Republic is much wealthier than the north, which is great for the people, but that character for me is gone. Dublin is a bit brash, there is so much traffic and development, yet there is a nostalgia for drumlins, leprechauns, Riverdance and what they once had. The price of progress. I'm glad you nevertheless found stuff which was interesting. Maybe in the far west of the Republic you can still find what once was. I can recommend Ireland's Holy Mountain at Westport, hopefully it's as bizarre an experience as ever, you must climb for penance!
Trains Station 🚉
Manchester Trams vs LUAS?
Spar in Denmark is a discount market 😢
The Spars in the UK look a bit SPARse by comparison
Hi
When you said you were going to an amazing spar I thought you meant the Gay Spar on the corner of George's Street and Dame Street south of the river. It was always nicknamed the gay spar because of the nearby gay bars but it's now officially called the Gay Spar
I quite like the look of those trams, but something was niggling at me. Something looked wrong. Then the penny dropped. They have no wheels! Why? You don't cover the bus or the car wheels. Release the tram wheels.
Look Awful!? not what I am seeing. My first thought is that you did something different with your hair, It looks wavy and appearing to have a bit of zhuzh going on.
