What to do in Dublin this week...

The excitement of St Patricks Day and the rugby is dying down but don't worry, there is still lots happening in Dublin! We are now in the middle of the wonderful 'Dine in Dublin-Restaurant Week' which ends Sunday March 28th. If you haven't already availed of any of the one-off special promotional rates that over 50 of the city's restaurants are offering, now's your chance!

This weekend, the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Poetry Now festival is welcoming poets from Mexico, the US and Albania to Dublin. The very best of Irish and international poetry will be showcased at this years festival. Easily accessible by the DART, it is a must for fans of Irish literature.

Upcoming Concerts


The past couple of weeks have seen a number of the music world's most popular performers announce concert dates in Dublin. Rod Stewart is playing the O2 venue on May 11 and again in July. Paul McCartney is coming to the RDS on June 12th. And the hugely popular crooner Michael Buble will make history in September as he brings us the very first concert in the new Aviva Stadium. Each of these concert venues are within easy distance of the Halpins properties.

Roll on the summer!
