For a taste of Dublin’s energetic side, consider filming in Temple Bar. If you are looking for a city vibe, but with a bit more realism, consider Dublin neighbourhoods such as Ranelagh and Rathmines as well as the area around Christchurch and St. Patrick’s Cathedrals. If you are looking to film in the suburbs, consider the charming fishing village of Malahide, or Sandycove beach in Dún Laoghaire.

The first step in hiring a filming location is to apply for a permit from the city. However, the type of permit you will need will be determined by the size of your production. Anything small in scale and not considered ‘disruptive’ will only need to apply for a regular permit. For larger productions or ones that require interrupting traffic or public spaces, you will need to do a bit more homework and submit an application along with a risk assessment, proof of insurance, full plan of your production. Nowadays you will also need a covid risk assessment.
