lol @ our "parliament" being open for business during the summer.....welcome to the land of the most useless politicians in the world.
i dont live in dublin and tbh i actually hate the place(esp the nightlife about it) but if u gimme a little think time, im sure ill come up with some ideas for exciting things that u and ur college buddies can get up to during ur time here(stop it people, im not thinking that kinda stuff, srsly

)
despite what i think of it, dublin actually is a fun place to be and despite our reputation, everything isnt centred around drinking.
be prepared for a shock at the cost of living in dublin tho
