Hurrah! ;-)

Not that, but I have a fair bit of experience of pub crawls in Dublin ;-)
Like the time I set off to walk the four miles to a favorite pizza joint in
Ballsbridge but was lured into O'Donoghues Bar for a quick Guinness on the
way. That was 7:30 pm; I never made it to the pizza place, and got out of
O'Donoghues at 11:30 having drunk seven pints of Guinness, only the first of
which I'd paid for. By the end of the evening the customers were packed so
tight that the bar staff had to stand on the bar and hand the drinks down
over people's heads.

Dublin has some great street statuary, all of which have hilarious
nicknames. The LUAS (tram) is fun to travel on. I'd recommend restaurants
but the last time I was in Dublin was 2004 and eating places tend to have a
short life. The National Galley of Ireland if you're into art, the Post
Office if you're into history, or any of the museums. Sheridan's if you're
into cheese. Bernard Shaw's house in Portobello. The Grand Canal towpath.
For that matter, the whole of Ireland - I love it ;-)

Pretty much like the book, then ;-)
