Thread Name: Two and a half days in Dublin
Subject: RE: Two and a half days in Dublin
They put Erskin Childers Dulcibella in jail. The jail was a museum. The Dulcebella, Read his book the, "Ridlde of the Sands", was actually "Asgaard" a Colin Archer Norwegian boat that was used for gun running from Belgium to Howth !

Now at Howth (Take the Dart there) on the end of the harbour there's a plaque that tells you all about it.

Also at Howth there's the lighthouse pub !!. Here Barney Mckenna and friends hold court on a Sunday afternoon.

Enjoy
