I was kind of surprised to see poor public transport on your list as it's a major European city. Is this true of the whole city or just certain parts?

the city center and surrounding area is very well connected, but Dublin has a large, sprawling suburban area which while connected, has very infrequent connections.

the public transit services also disappears for almost all intended purposes at night, which is weird for a very international capital with such a vibrant night life. and taxis often refuse courses outside the inner city, albeit that has been changing with ubers and whatnot.
