Dublin is both the largest city and capital of Ireland. Founded as a Viking settlement, the city has been the main Irish city for the most part of the island's history since the medieval times. Nowadays thousand-year-old Dublin is still in the lead. It is an administrative, economic and cultural centre of Ireland and has one of the fastest growing populations in Europe. Thriving from success of the 'Celtic Tiger' economy, Dublin has demonstrated an amazing economic growth over the last 15 years.
