Dublin's fair city

On Raglan Road

Raglan Road in Ballsbridge is located a very short distance from our Congress venue and was made famous by the poem On Raglan Road by Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh.

The poem was first published in 1946 and later set to the music of the traditional Irish song The Dawning of the Day by singer Luke Kelly of The Dubliners in 1964.

The Dubliners recording of Raglan Road was first released in 1971, and remains a firm favourite.

Last weekend it was voted Ireland’s favourite folk song.

The song continues to be performed and recorded by a huge number of accomplished artists. The definitive version is sung here by Luke Kelly.

We sincerely hope you've enjoyed your visit to Dublin this week. Have a great last day at conference and have a safe journey home.

Go n-éirí an bóthar libh.
