I only had one day in Dublin, didn't plan anything out so I just ended up walking around town for a good 4 hours. I sat in the park outside st. Patrick's cathedral, I bought a coffee and ate an apple and called it a day.
side note before I left easkey I asked my fellow wwoofer who is from Dublin what the spire is about and he said it was a sculpture that was for the millennium year but wasn't completed till 2002. he seemed kind of annoyed about it.
