Would someone please explain to me what the number after each Dublin address means? (e.g. Dublin 9). Is this a postcode, or does it represent how many miles from the city centre, or...? 
I am planning my trip to Ireland and thought this may have some influence on where to book my accommodation in Dublin. 
Thanks, in anticipation of someone helping me out.

sam, 
this is a post code. a bit of advice re accomodation- the temple bar area hotels are nice but can be a bit more expensive than others in the city. arlington hotel has lotsa entertainment and rates are good.

Lyn is correct, this is a postal district. We have a map outlining the postal districts here.
