2. HISTORY The settlement 'Dubh Linn' dates perhaps as far back as the 1st century BC and later a monastery was built there.The modern city retains the Anglicised Irish name of the former and the original Irish name of the latter. Norse influence waned under a growing Celtic supremacy until the Norman invasion of Ireland which was launched from Wales in 1169-1172In 1348, the city was hit by the Black Death,[11] a lethal plague that ravaged Europe in the mid-14th century. Dublin Castle was the fortified seat of British rule in Ireland until 1922.

3. Georgian Dublin was, for a short time, the second city of the British Empire after London and the fifth largest European city. Dublin entered a period of decline, but remained the centre of administration and a transport hub for much of Ireland. Dublin played no major role in the Industrial Revolution. The Easter Rising of 1916, the War of Independence (Anglo-Irish War), and Irish Civil War resulted in a significant amount of physical destruction in the city centre. Since 1997, the landscape of Dublin has changed immensely, with enormous private sector and state development of housing, transport, and business. HISTORY
