   DUBLIN TREASURES – BLESSINGTON STREET BASIN
   
   Down by the Secret Garden On the south side, the secret garden was always the
   Iveagh Gardens. However,  music, comedy and food festivals have taken place
   there in recent years, meaning that the garden isn’t so secret anymore. These
   days, to find the city’s true secret garden, you have to head north. Up
   O’Connell Street, then North Frederick, across Dorset Street and on up
   Blessington Street until you come to black wrought iron gates. In you go. And
   you’re there. What to expect at Blessington Street Basin The Blessington

   A different kind of museum experience No street in Dublin illuminates the

   cobblestone street have run the gamut from Georgian grandeur to tenement
   squalor within the 300 years of their existence. Now, Number 14 Henrietta
   Street has been restored as a museum. It tells the story of the house’s
   journey from being the grand residence of a family of four in the 1720s to
   becoming home to over 100 people by 1911. The research history and personal
   stories are also a huge part of the experience. All the big events of Irish

   THE QUEEN OF DUBLIN, PANTI BLISS
   
   In conversation with Panti Bliss When the Marriage Equality referendum passed
   in May of 2015, Ireland’s dearest drag queen Panti Bliss took her place on
   the podium at Dublin Castle. Standing alongside Sinn Féin’s Gerry Adams and
   the then-Minister for Justice Francis Fitzgerald, she addressed the emotional
   crowd. Rory O’Neill’s alter ego, Panti, who had always been in the peripheral
   vision of the Irish people, was now front and centre having played a hugely
   important role in the Yes campaign. I don’t think Dubliners accept anyone as
   a Dubliner, unless they were born here. Today, Panti performs all over the

   The Liberties is one of Dublin's most characterful and historic districts. It
   owes its name to the fact that it was originally outside the jurisdiction of

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES



Two very popular areas of investment in the city are startups and real estate.
If you’re looking for investment opportunities in Dublin, this is probably the
best place to start. If you’re still unsure if investing in Ireland is right for
you, check out our informative facts and figures about investments in Dublin.


DUBLIN’S STARTUPS

Whatever your interests, budget and appetite for risk are, Dublin’s capital
ecosystem has an investment opportunity to match what you’re looking for. The
city’s startups cover a wide range of industries, but they all have one thing in
common. They’re supported by a startup ecosystem which encourages innovation,
growth, research and investment.

Investors and startups alike can benefit from business-friendly tax incentives.
Schemes like the Employment Investment Incentive provides tax relief to
investors who provide equity-based finance to certain startups.

Here’s how you can find relevant investment opportunities among the hundreds of
startups based in Dublin.


NETWORK

Tech Ireland’s website is a good place to start your search. There’s also First
Friday for Startups in Dogpatch Labs – one of Dublin’s many startup hubs, as
well as the annual Techstars Startup Week event.


CONTACT ENTERPRISE IRELAND

No one knows Ireland’s emerging companies investment landscape better than
Enterprise Ireland. This is the state’s economic development agency and it
invests in promising businesses itself. In order to do this, it undertakes
extensive technical, commercial, financial and market due-diligence.

Enterprise Ireland also makes this research available to potential investors and
provides portfolios of screened investment opportunities in the technology and
services sectors.



If you’re interested in meeting other investors for syndicated investment
opportunities, Enterprise Ireland can also make that happen too. It runs
programmes that help investors connect with startups, including the High
Potential Startup Showcase. It also partners with Venture Capital funds and
Business Angel networks.


TRY THE IRISH INVESTMENT NETWORK

The Angel Investment Network specialises in connecting relevant startups with
those looking for investment opportunities.

You simply enter your industry of interest and the size of the investment you’d
like to make. Then, its software will sift through over 150,000 investment
opportunities to find a selection of startups that match your needs. It all
happens in a user-friendly interface too.


REACH OUT TO THE NATIONAL DIGITAL RESEARCH CENTRE

The NRDC runs events, masterclasses, mentoring and accelerator programmes for
some of Ireland’s most exciting digital startups. This means it can offer
investors access to them too.


CONSIDER CROWDFUNDING

If you want to start small, you can invest directly in early-stage startups
through Irish crowdfunding platforms. Dublin based ones include: Fundit, Spark
Crowdfunding and Linked Finance.


REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Dublin’s real estate prices are on the rise once again. Properties here offer
strong price growth and robust rental yields – especially in commercial units
and rental accommodation. They offer relatively low risk too.

According to property agents Savills, the office sector proved to be more
resilient to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic than other sectors of the
economy. While the outlook for this sector is also positive with new builds
filling up and growing investment opportunities likely to come on stream.

However, CBRE predicts that investors will be focusing on residential-led
schemes for the foreseeable future. Until the long-term impacts of the pandemic
are clear.

It also anticipates that investors will turn their attention to alternative
investment sectors and diversify their portfolios with “greater focus on life
sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and biomedical properties.”
