Happy to share. We're home later this week in upgraded business class on AA.
Planned to find a dinner spot just outside of Temple Bar tonight. Looked at the bridges across the River Liffey in that area and surrendered - just one mass of people. Back up O'Connell Street to Parnell's Pub on Parnell Square for pub food (Irish stew for me) and Smithwick's Ale.

Tom, great pictures as always, we were standing on bottle neck near the Liffey River and TV camera area, all the parade stop for a moment being interview by local TV.
