If you're interested in social history check out 14 Henrietta Street. I went there a few months ago, it only cost 10 Euros but you need to book in advance. I found it absolutely fascinating.

Henrietta Street in Dublin's North inner city is the most intact collection of early to mid-18th century houses in Ireland. From Georgian townhouse to Tenement dwelling, 14 Henriet...

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Was anyone else briefly confused about why A380's son and his friends had been taking photos with pints of Guinness on their heads, or was that just me?

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
They give you a pint of their vile shit when you reach the high level glass walled bar at the end of the tour. Even when I was given a glass for free I still couldn't take more than a couple of sips of it.
That said the tour is very good even if you don't drink the stuff.
I really enjoyed my visit to Dublin when I went.

- was on Dame Street. there were dames.
- saw a Mercedes with Clare license plates. whatever would my father have thought.
- the espresso here is really expensive, but there sure are alot of coffee shops now.
- went to Connolly Books, that was depressing, though they had for sale a nice selection of USSR pins
- am weary but I will drag myself to the Chester Beatty Library today.

Did you go to Bewley’s on Grafton Street? My younger daughter used to tell people she was conceived there. She wasn’t. Mrs LR did a pregnancy test in the toilets. (She noticed the coffee tasted funny and the wine had tasted funny the night before and it suddenly dawned on her that happened when she was pregnant with the older one, so she nipped across the road to Boots and bought a test while I had my espresso!)

A night and a day, at the very least. You'd be awful rushed to do it in a day.

Notre Dame football in Dublin: Boots on the ground, pies in the face, celebrities everywhere
Unlike previous Dublin-based meetings in 1996 and 2012, this year’s rivalry renewal is designated a Notre Dame home game.

The place is crawling with avid American footie fans. I saw one yesterday who was a stereotypical "Poindexter" with the crew cut and tartan blazer with the Notre Dame crest on the breast pocket.

Are you going to the big game?
“They keep saying ‘American football’ and then they want to get into a conversation about Gaelic football,” Patrick said of rugby, “and how American football, ‘You guys are soft,’ and ‘Gaelic football is the reason why you have American football.’ “
His response?
“I just go along with it,” he said. “I’m not fighting any Irish. I’m just here to watch the Fighting Irish.”

There's a niche interest in it. Unfortunately, some fellow Dubliners will be showing their interest in foreign cultures by beating up tourists in the city centre or burning out refugee houses or holding rallies claiming that "Ireland is full " in Ballybrack.
