Dublin Town Competitors

Dublin City Council is the democratically elected body that governs Dublin City. We are the largest Local Authority in Ireland. Dublin City Council takes the lead role in shaping the strategic vision of the city. It provides a diverse, multilayered and evolving range of services to both citizens and visitors to Dublin which include the provision of housing, planning, development, environmental, roads and traffic, leisure and community services.

Tourism Ireland is the organisation responsible for marketing the island of Ireland as a holiday and Business Events destination overseas. We employ approximately 168 people in key markets around the world, including Great Britain, the USA and Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium, the Nordics, Switzerland, Austria and Australia. We also have offices on the island of Ireland, in Coleraine and Dublin.

Dublin Bus is Ireland’s largest public transport provider, carrying approximately 165 million customers in 2025. This represents growth of an additional 6 million journeys compared to 2024. More than 1,000 buses and approximately 3,500 drivers serve more than 130 routes, including fifteen 24-hour routes. More than 10% of our fleet is now fully electric, helping Ireland to meet its climate goals and make Dublin’s air that bit cleaner. Dublin Bus services are wheelchair accessible, and we proudly support and represent the communities that we serve; proof that a semi-state organisation can be a true leader in Diversity and Inclusion.
