Culture Night 6 pm Walking tour with Anthony Finnegan, former Engineer at DPC

Explore Dublin Port’s rich Heritage with Anthony Finnegan, former Shore Engineer at Dublin Port

Dublin Port’s history dates back to 1707 and while the company has always looked forward, the Port has never lost sight of its substantial heritage.

Much of the evolution of communities in the North and East Wall areas is inextricably linked either to the Port itself, or the numerous industries which developed around it. Railways, Shipbuilding, Car Assembly, Timber Importers, Coal, are some of the many businesses that flourished and evolved throughout the Port’s history.

The early housing stock built in the vicinity of the Port was developed to accommodate the workers and from those communities came significant Artists, Musicians, Writers, and Poets.

Anthony Finnegan, a registered tour guide, served as a Shore Engineer at Dublin Port for nearly 30 years.
