I came over for the Saturday show, flying in on Saturday lunchtime, coming back 24hours later, I had an enjoyable time, before after and during the concert.
Not wishing to be dis-respectful about the city, I don't find Dublin to be particularly special a city, with its high streets full of chainstores and fast food takeaways, it reminds me too much of many a UK city centre.
Ventured into the Temple Bar after the gig, very busy of course, and if there is a secret to getting a taxi at 3am, i would love to know it
The organisation at the gig was good, but there needed to be urinals on the ground floor level to speed up the toilet queues. Keeping alcohol off of the pitch was good, it did enable us to be surrounded by sober people, I am all in favour of drinking of course, but Twickenham was spoilt a tiny bit by unruly p1ssheads around us.
The night bus and LUAS (tram) systems are excellent, we stayed at the IBIS at red cow, which is ok, like every other IBIS in europe.
Importantly, I felt welcome in the city, at all times
