The Invasion Of Dublin

During the Summer months thousands of students from mostly Mediterranean countries come to Dublin to learn or improve their English. Although locals refer to them as "The Spanish students" in reality many are Italian, French and other nationalities. But they have one thing in common - on the street, on the bus, on the train, they chatter loudly and incessantly. And they congregate in large numbers on our streets sometimes blocking them completely. But for all that they are welcome seasonal visitors adding a bit of variety ( and noise) to our city.
