How long has Dublin been capital?

Ireland has had different status through its history, making the answer not so definitive. You can trace Dublin being the capital back to the 12th century. At other periods since then Ireland had different statuses, for which Dublin acted as a capital as follows: Lordship of Ireland (1171-1541), Kingdom of Ireland (1541-1800), island as part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801-1922), and the Irish Republic (1919-1922). So, most recently of those Ireland was under British rule, and Dublin was not capital of Ireland in its own right until independence in 1922.

Why is Dublin powerful?

Dublin is the largest city in Ireland, with a large population, lots of business and industry and many other things there. Dublin is the capital of Ireland, so the government is based there. So power is worked from Dublin, but the people in the government come from all over Ireland, having been elected by the people. The Irish parliament is just in Dublin, like governments are in any capital city. People then associate the city with the power in a country, but it is not really the case. In Ireland's case, Dublin as a place has a lot of influence because of its population and industry, but there are other strong and important places in Ireland too.
