Answer 2

The location where Dublin now is was a main crossing point in Ireland as people headed along the east coast. Two main settlements, Áth Cliath and Dubh Linn, were founded there and they grew to become what is now modern day Dublin. The west of Ireland does not have as good a quality of land as the east does, so many people settled in the east of Ireland, and around Dublin in particular. Dublin became a major port and is strategically positioned as a good point to go to Britain from. It is now Ireland's capital and still attracts a large amount of people.
