The correct words for

She met him up in Dublin in the (Graisha Matta (*5) ???) Ball

should be

She met him up in Dublin in the Gresham at a ball

The Gresham Hotel used to be one of the swankiest hotels in Dublin, situated in O'Connell St.

(At least thats what I heard from my uncle, the TD!!)

Otherwise Snuffy is spot on.
