I was recently in Dublin for the first time. I was walking on a bridge on my way to a Garth Brooks concert and saw a skater down below skating some DIY-spot. We got eye contact and I just gave him the horns and he responded with the horns. Just as it should be. Great experience.

That's the IFSC DIY it's beside the Convention Center.

It's fun. Few slappy curbs and a ledge.

It's slim pickings

But... There's a new spot literally right beside the old Baggot St spot (those really were the days. Ollieing the Baggot gap.
There is a few nice ledges there now.

There is the IFSC diy

The Nitro slappy curb (at the Nitro software building)

And then Weaver park

Other than that it's mostly skateparks

Dublin skate scene is not great these days and you would be very hard pressed to find anyone over 30

Plenty of other stuff to do in Dublin to enjoy yourself though.

I would message High Rollers shop and see what's the latest spots

Garth Brooks played Croker so i presume he meant the diy quarter down by the canal behind the stadium.

I was there recently. It's pretty sick imo. Good crew of dudes there pushing the scene. Like any city , push around and you are bound to find things to skate.I saw lots of stuff. Go to highrollers , say hello and ask for some recommendations. Buy a copy of Goblin Magazine.
