Are you looking for something fun and interactive to do in Dublin on cold winter nights? Maybe a date night or an evening with the gals?  On a cold November evening, after a hard day’s work, myself and Dara made our way into town to do the ‘Forge your own Ring’ workshop with Silver works….

  The GPO or General Post Office is one of the most important buildings in all of Irish history. It is the central post office here in Dublin and although it provides great postal service, that’s not what it is best known for. It served as the headquarters for the leaders of the 1916 Easter…

  This week we had the wonderful Georgia joining us for her TY Work experience. We sent her down to the docklands to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum! This museum is the home to many great stories of Irish importance. It showcases the struggles and successes of the Irish population both within our small island and abroad. Upon arriving at the museum you receive your own individual Epic passport! As you make your way through each section of the tour, you can collect a new stamp for your passport from one of the designated stations. This creates a fun interactive experience and feels as if you are on a journey through the past of Irish history. The passport also acts as a guide to show you what you have done and where to go next. So you never get lost!

However, a quarter of them admitted that they only meet…
