The Dublin Central constituency is one of the most densely populated and socially and ethnically diverse places in Ireland. [1] The postcode consists of most of the northern city centre,[ citation needed ] affluent white collar areas around and including Mayor Square,[ citation needed ] and traditional working class areas such as Sheriff Street. [2] In 2019, the Irish Independent reported that Dublin City Council embarked on a plan to improve lighting and surfacing in the area's laneways [3] while Ireland's National Tourism Development Authority has said the regeneration of a historic part of Dublin 1 tied to the Easter Rising is "long overdue". [4] The American Institute of Architects has been hired by a local business group to help regenerate the area, which they say faces "civic schizophrenia" and "a split personality". [5]
The postcode covers a dense central area north of the River Liffey. It includes O'Connell Street, [6] Parnell Street, [7] Henry Street, [8] Jervis Street, [9] Mountjoy Square, [10] Parnell Square, [11] the International Financial Services Centre, [12] and parts of the northern Docklands.

It also features urban secondary schools such as the O'Connell School [18] and Belvedere College [19] as well as third-level institutions such as the National College of Ireland. [20]
