It’s easy to forget that Dublin is a treasure trove of trivia, hidden gems and long-lost stories – particularly as we get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of city life.

Pubs are closed on Good Friday, with thanks to the archaic Intoxicating Liquor Act – so the whole city will be on alcohol lockdown.
