I spent an enjoyable 24 hours in Dublin, courtesy of i-conX who were hosting their Christmas Party in the city. No work to do so I spent an afternoon looking round the city centre and revisiting many of the places I had last seen over 10 years ago. Compared to London, Dublin seems to be almost unaffected by the recession, with lots of activity in the shopping streets. I was also impressed by how clean the place is compared to London.
The Christmas party was held in the Ocean bar, which is in the new Grand Canal Square development. Very impressive ornamental lighting. It proved surprisingly difficult to find any bars open late, in spite of Dublin's' reputation as a place to get a drink. As a result, no hangover the next day, and an uneventful flight back to London.
