I've been organising various tech events (Python Ireland, Coding Grace, Global GameCraft to name a few) for quite awhile, but mainly Python events since 2005, and I have seen the growth of so many technical user groups in the past 5 years.

It use to be a case you can count the tech groups on one hand (for me anyway)! Also there are many entrepreneurs meetups happening around town as well. It's really exciting to be in Dublin at the moment, although I do wish the same amount of activity would happen in other cities/towns around the country.

As many mentioned before me, go and check out the meetups around town (via meetup.com, lanyrd.com and sign up to Dublin StartupDigest). This all leads to a vibrant tech community (good cafés also helps). I might warn you though, there is something happening most nights every week. Enjoy!
