Until 1922 it was the seat of the <a href="/wiki/Dublin_Castle_administration" title="Dublin Castle administration">British government's administration in Ireland</a>. Many of the current buildings date from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King <a href="/wiki/John,_King_of_England" title="John, King of England">John</a>, the first <a href="/wiki/Lordship_of_Ireland" title="Lordship of Ireland">Lord of Ireland</a>. The Castle served as the seat of English, then later British, government of Ireland under the <a href="/wiki/Lordship_of_Ireland" title="Lordship of Ireland">Lordship of Ireland</a> (1171–1541), the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Ireland" title="Kingdom of Ireland">Kingdom of Ireland</a> (1541–1800), and the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland">United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland</a> (1801–1922). </p><p>After the signing of the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Irish_Treaty" title="Anglo-Irish Treaty">Anglo-Irish Treaty</a> in December 1921, the complex was ceremonially handed over to the newly formed <a href="/wiki/Provisional_Government_of_Ireland_(1922)" title="Provisional Government of Ireland (1922)">Provisional Government</a> led by <a href="/wiki/Michael_Collins_(Irish_leader)" title="Michael Collins (Irish leader)">Michael Collins</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-costello_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-costello-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It now hosts the inauguration of each President of Ireland and various State receptions. </p><p>The castle was built by the dark pool ("Dubh Linn") which gave Dublin its name. This pool lies on the lower course of the <a href="/wiki/River_Poddle" title="River Poddle">River Poddle</a> before its confluence with the <a href="/wiki/River_Liffey" title="River Liffey">River Liffey</a>; when the castle was built, the Liffey was much wider, and the castle was effectively defended by both rivers.

Originally built as a defensive fortification for the <a href="/wiki/Normans" title="Normans">Norman</a> city of Dublin, it later evolved into an official residence, used by the <a href="/wiki/Lord_Lieutenant_of_Ireland" title="Lord Lieutenant of Ireland">Lord Lieutenant of Ireland</a> or Viceroy of Ireland, the representative of the <a href="/wiki/Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Monarchy of the United Kingdom">monarch</a>. The second-in-command in the Dublin Castle administration, the <a href="/wiki/Chief_Secretary_for_Ireland" title="Chief Secretary for Ireland">Chief Secretary for Ireland</a>, also had his offices there. Over the years <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Ireland" title="Parliament of Ireland">parliament</a> and certain law courts met at the castle before moving to new purpose-built venues. It also served as the base for a military garrison and later also intelligence services. </p><p>Upon the formation of the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Free_State" title="Irish Free State">Irish Free State</a> in December 1922, the castle temporarily assumed the role of the <a href="/wiki/Four_Courts" title="Four Courts">Four Courts</a>, the legal complex badly damaged during the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Civil_War" title="Irish Civil War">Civil War</a>; this arrangement would last for a decade. </p><p>It was decided in 1938 that the inauguration of the first <a href="/wiki/President_of_Ireland" title="President of Ireland">President of Ireland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Douglas_Hyde" title="Douglas Hyde">Douglas Hyde</a>, would take place in the castle, and the complex has been host to this ceremony ever since. The castle is also used for hosting official <a href="/wiki/State_visit" title="State visit">state visits</a> as well as more informal foreign affairs engagements, state banquets, including that for the historic visit of Queen <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Elizabeth II</a> in 2011, and Government policy launches. It also acts as the central base for Ireland's hosting of the <a href="/wiki/Presidency_of_the_Council_of_the_European_Union" title="Presidency of the Council of the European Union">European Presidency</a>, approximately every 10 years.
