Neighbourhood Watch

Pull up a chair at the Open House Dublin Open Table for an inspiring lunchtime conversation with housing and urban design expert Lorcan Sirr. These unique, collaborative events, one in each of Dublin’s four districts, invites Dublin locals to gather, connect, and share their firsthand insights, local histories, and future visions for their specific neighbourhoods. Fuelled by a complimentary light lunch, it is your chance to directly shape the collective plans and design possibilities of your community

Open Table 2026 takes place across Dublin city and County with conversations in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown, Fingal, South Dublin, and Dublin City.

Dr Lorcan Sirr lectures in housing and planning and development at the Technological University Dublin. His research involves historical and contemporary housing policy analysis, using data when possible. Bringing housing policy issues to the public domain, he is also a regular contributor to The Irish Times and other media outlets.
