    Well the nearest point any public transport takes you to Dollymount beach is Raheny village (29A/31/32 buses) and the DART.

    They have ads up in the trains suggesting you get the DART to Dublin attractions . . . like the Shaw birthplace . . . in Synge Street. Nearest station Grand Canal Dock, but I wouldn't exactly call it near. They have it down as 15 mins walk - more like 20-25 I would have thought.

    A bit optimistic, certainly. According to Google Maps it's 2.5km. Pearse would actually be marginally closer at 2.1km. 2.5km in 15 mins would be 10km/h which is a very brisk walk, even for me!

    Yeah like how about something simple. Book of Kells in Trinity College beside Pearse Station. Walk of howth near howth station. Canal walk beside grand canal dock etc. Now they are talking about The Commitments up in Ballymun Towers. I mean why not bring in the ring of Kerry or Kissing the blarney stone.
