Dublin Castle |
 |
Dublin Castle is the heart of historic
Dublin. Dublin Castle
fulfilled a number of roles through its
history. Originally built as a defensive
fortification for the Norman city of
Dublin. It was decided in 1938 that the
inauguration of the first President of
Ireland, Douglas Hyde would take place
in the castle, and the complex has been
host to this ceremony ever since. The
castle is also used for hosting official
State visits as well as more informal
foreign affairs engagements, State
banquets, and Government policy
launches, as well as acting as the
central base for Ireland's hosting of
the European Presidency approximately
every 10 years. |

Dublin Writers Museum |

At the Writers Museum, Dublin’s literary
celebrities from the past three hundred
years are brought to life through their
books, letters, portraits and personal
items.
Whatever you think you know about Irish
literature, you’re sure to find
something to astound and delight you at
the Dublin Writers Museum. Did you know,
for example, that Oscar Wilde was a
promising pugilist during his days at
Trinity College.
The building, a restored Georgian
mansion on Parnell Square, is a treasure
in itself. The sumptuous plasterwork in
the first floor Gallery of Writers is
worth a visit alone. |
