Sites to be visited include the Old Parliament, Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Wood Quay and Christ Church. Every day excluding Sundays, from 20 July to 31 August 2001 starting at 10.00 am. Other group reservations by phone appointment. These walking tours of the cemetery are very useful and interesting as they give a history of the people who have helped to shape Ireland's past and present. Specialised tours may also be organised.
Students are particularly welcome.
This award winning tour, which lasts for two hours, is conducted by graduates of Trinity College. It explores the influences that the American and French Revolutions have had on the shaping of Irish history. This, apparently, is where it all began and where things continue to happen. U2 and The Cranberries played their first gigs here, Sinead O' Connor worked here as a waitress, and Bob Geldof wrote one of his biggest hits here too. The walking tour has a two hour duration.
