    Not sure if this is what you were asking for but...

    Looks like a nice job - good googlemap integration. For the addresses you have already put up it works pretty well and looks fairly good. Could do with a style spruce up maybe - a lot of white-space feels empty as opposed to being a clean layout - thats just my opinion! Its probably early days yet, but once a few more categories are put up, it would be even more useful.

    Its a chicken & egg situation right now, but with the right promotion I think it can do well.

    Site looks ok and a handy service but why stick a youtube video (currently pac man) at the bottom of it? It just takes away from the professional look of the site,not to mention you cant even play it cos when you use the arrow keys the page scrolls :D

    You have a < to the left of the You Tube vid which shouldnt be there.

    Also the second search down the bottom of the page under the You tube is completely lost down there and some what redundant.

    Site is very similar to Vazumo.com OP not sure if you have seen it before or not?

    I could be wrong but should item 9 "Customer House Visitor Centre, Custom House Quay" be "Custom House ..."?

    http://www.dublinbynumbers.com/article/five-ways-to-get-fit-this-winter
    Page appears to be empty. Might be good to rename "winter" to "spring" because home page says "fit this Spring".

    The body of the site (below the logo and top links) looks quite polished. I think that the logo, with its not-quite-white background, could do with being spruced up. Maybe make it more clear that the magnifying glass is over Dublin.

    Plurals: http://www.dublinbynumbers.com/categories/driving-schools
    Dublin 13 has "1 records". Could you change it to be singular? Small thing.

    Thanks folks, good points.

    I've taken the youtube section off, it was a pain to update anyway and winter is now officially spring!

    Damn, that Vazumo looks pretty good, hadn't seen it before!

    A little more polishing in general methinks!
