Monday 20th April, Dublin

After a quick repair of the wind turbine we were off into Dublin. Chris stopped on the way for a tour of the Aviva Stadium. Michael headed for the tour of the Guinness brewery and Wendy and Dave for a walking tour of the city. The tour was excellent with both humorous and informative insights into Irelands political history.
The importance of not being Ernest

Dublin Castle, the hated seat of English rule until independence, no more popular now as the home of the Irish Revenue Service

"Trinity", home of learning in Ireland, apparently the Irish church forbade Catholics from attending for many years, as it was originally intended to educate only protestants.
