Tourists will now be able to unlock the full potential of Dublin’s Docklands, with the help of a new mobile app launched by Dublin City Council.

Doors into Docklands, by Dublin Discovery Trails, marks the first in a series of mobile applications developed with augmented reality — allowing users to experience the Docklands and all it offers in an immersive environment.
