Research your roots |
2 Kildare Street Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 603 0200 |
Ireland's history of mass emigration ensured a huge diaspora, and if you are a descendant, here is the place to explore your roots. Acclaimed as the only museum of its kind in the world, you can have a consultation service on the premises for a fee. The exhibits feature shields, banners, coins and porcelain, with Ireland's various coats of arms and family crests also on show. Certainly interesting for non-Irish visitors, it is perhaps essential for for those with connections to the country. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Georgian elegance |
Merrion Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 661 2369 |
Merrion Square is the grandest of the city's great set-piece squares. The park in the centre is owned by the Catholic Church, which has leased it to the city. It is a beautifully maintained green space in the heart of the city dotted with sculpture and public art, the most visible of which is probably the monument to Oscar Wilde in the north-west corner. Wilde spent his childhood at 1, Merrion Square, while W.B. Yeats lived at No. 82. On Sundays, artists hang their works for sale on the railings surrounding the park. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dublin's famous fishmonger |
Grafton Street Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 605 7700 |
Erected to commemorate Dublin's own millennium, a statue of Molly Malone pensively stares at passers-by on the southern end of Grafton Street. Ever ready for a comic put-down, Dubliners immediately christened the well-endowed Molly "the tart with the cart". Molly Malone - in case you didn't know - was a fictional fishmonger who sold cockles and mussels and was immortalised in a popular Dublin song. Review © 2007, Wcities |
