You’d never know what you might find — at the Lost & Found

FOR some of Dublin’s more exuberant Christmas revellers a trip to the Carriage Office in Dublin was as traditional as a visit to Clery’s window or a Christmas Eve pint in The Duke.

The office, which was located on the grounds of Dublin Castle, was where people went to retrieve goods that had somehow made their way between the cheeks of a taxi seat.

Before it closed, taxi drivers left lost goods at the office where hopeful, rather than expectant, property losers would retrieve them. Because of its city centre location and its inaccessibility the office was not utilised to the full. For this reason its service was spread out across the city and now comprises five different locations across Greater Dublin.
