The modern Irish name for Dublin is 'Baile Átha Cliath' meaning "town of the hurdled ford". Dublin is a very modern and young city with forty percent of the population thought to be less than 25 years old. With such a young population the city has a vibrant and lively night life especially in the 'Temple Bar' (Barra an Teampaill) area of the city. Whilst visiting Dublin you should also visit The General Post Office, scene of the 1916 Easter Uprising.
