If there weather's good take the walking tour of 1916 related sites, it'll give you a better feel for the city than any of the bus tours.
The national museum at Collins Barracks is excellent, as is the National Gallery.
Stay out of Temple Bar.
Send me a gaz in advance and I'll show you around.

ooh, that sounds interesting
not sure I could convince the other half to do it though.

So long as I get to the Guinness factory, I'll be happy enough. I've never been.

Jameson distillery is supposed to be good.
Is he into shopping?

I've done the Jameson tour
It was quite good until the end when I realised I don't actually like whisky.

He's not much of a shopper, so it'll probably be more of a pub crawl

Ah right.
You'll be grand, then. Lots of pubs.

You don't like whiskey?
That is so gay.

[something about you people swallowing unpleasant liquids or something]

speaking of unpleasant liquids
I threw out the milk as it had gone off so now I have no milk but a terrible thirst for tea

Do you have shops in Ireland?
I think I may know how to solve this problem.

Bunch of cunts.

I'm glad to say that at least one b3ta showed up for the protest at that.
But describing them as "our fault" is a bit odd.

I believe this nonsense gained enormous popularity in Ireland.

Try calling them Irish to their face and you'll see what I mean.

For fuck's sake.

I've just read that they started in the War Memorial Park.
Fantastic.

This is a problem. Hmmmmm.
Do you have any friends or relatives that you can call for help? You should have kept hold of those Romanian slaves and had one of them fetch you a bottle.

The only good thing in Temple Bar is the Porterhouse, and the Czech Inn.
