Ringsend (Irish: An Rinn) is a southside inner suburb of Dublin. It is located on the south bank of the River Liffey, about two kilometres east of the city centre. Formerly the point where ships arriving across the Irish Sea would dock, Ringsend went into decline in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the shipping moved to ports further south along the coast, although there is still some local container shipping. With the growth of Dublin since 1990, Ringsend has become a popular location for students and younger workers. Recent years have seen significant growth in the area, with the Grand Canal Dock Project. Ringsend has a range of shops, pubs and businesses. It has a branch of Dublin Public Libraries, a Dublin City Council recycling depot and a substantial leisure area, Ringsend Park.
