Places of Interest: Dublinia is an exhibition of life in Dublin during Viking and Medieval times.
The Viking Exhibition takes you back to Dublin in the Viking times where you can see what life was like on a longboat, what a viking used during war and you can even become a Viking Slave.
Next it is on to the Medieval section of the exhibition where you are given a glimpse of what life was like in Dublin and also learn to play games and what the latest toothache remedy was 700 years ago.
There is the History Hunters Exhibition which show you how archaeology and history and science are used to piece together history.
There are also tours of the 96 step St. Michael's Tower where you can have a panoramic view of Dublin and Christ Church Cathedral where 1000 years of history and worship come to life while visiting the crypts. This is another way to enjoy the History and sights of Dublin.
Presidential Election Update:
On Tuesday Oct 4th 2011 we had the 2nd debate among the 7 candidates on TV3 with Vincent Browne and the following link will give what Breakingnews.ie thought about the debate directly after the finish. Candidates face off in TV3 debate | BreakingNews.ie .
As I did not see the debate it would be unfair for me to comment. There is one more debate to happen which I think is with Pat Kenny on RTE so hopefully I will get the chance to have a look at that one. According to a poll in tomorrows Irish Times the following is the % vote each candidate would receive.
David Norris 11%
Dana Rosemary Scallon 6%
Martin McGuinness 19%
Michael D Higgins 23%
Gay Mitchell 9%
Sean Gallagher 20%
Mary Davis 12%
The surprises in this poll are the Gallagher is so high at 20% and the both Norris and Mitchell are loosing ground.
Dublin Facts: the Oldest Pub in Dublin and indeed Ireland is The Brazen Head where there has been a pub sine 1198.
