STANDING IN THE shadow of the derelict Bolands Flour Mill on Dublin’s Ringsend Road, there is little to suggest that this is a hub of ICT activity. Turn onto Barrow Street, however, and things change very quickly. Along that narrow road – punctuated by a row of old cottages that run half way up one side – sit companies like Google, Populis and DogPatch Labs.
