My favorite things in Dublin are The Chester Beatty Library which is a really beautiful book museum with an amazing collection of sacred manuscripts - http://www.cbl.ie/Exhibitions/Permanent-Exhibitions.aspx The archaeology museum is also really great, it's a lovely building filled with iron age gold and beautiful leathery bog bodies - http://www.museum.ie/en/intro/archaeology-and-ethnography-museum.aspx The natural history museum is really good but I think it might be closed currently. The Phoenix Park is lovely too, there are deer there :-)
Thanks AnnaLee - I took the Viking Splash tour - it was fun - now I know what I want to see as a tourist when I go back - also had a nice time in odonohues - still havnt found the rock and roll though.

Rock and roll as in music? If that's what you mean then Bruxelles is the rock/metal bar there, it's on Harry Street just off the middle of Grafton Street. You are better off going to the book museum though, kids these days... ^_^

i thought it was pretty evenly split between getting drunk and asking god for forgiveness for getting drunk...
And wife beating. Its like our number 2 passtime / export. Fingers crossed for the 2022 olympics in dublin where we'll be pushing for competitive long distance wife-beating to be included as an event.

O God loves a drunk, the lowest of men
With the dogs in the street and the pigs in the pen
But a drunk's only trying to get free of his body
And soar like an eagle high up there in heaven
His shouts and his curses are just hymns and praises
To kick-start his mind now and then
O God loves a drunk, come raise up your glasses, amen
Does God really care for your life in the suburbs
A dull little life of dull little things
and bring up the babies to be just like Daddy
And maybe you'll be there when He gives out wings
But God loves a drunk, although he's a fool
He wets in his pants and he falls off his stool
