• Handel’s Messiah

  After a sea-sickening voyage,
  George Frederic Handel arrived
  into the harbour of Dublin on 18
  November 1741, possibly landing
  on the pier where the Clarence
  Hotel is today (Wellington Quay).
  He quickly sorted himself into his
  lodgings on Abbey Street (today’s
  Upper Abbey Street near Liffey
  Street – alas his house has since
  been demolished).

• One city one book

  Dublin : One City One Book is a
  brilliant initiative, started 11 years ago
  by Dublin City Libraries. The idea is to
  unite people every April to read one
  book associated with the city of
  Dublin. Previous books that book clubs
  have joined together to read include
  novels by Dublin authors including Lia
  Mills, Roddy Doyle, James Joyce, Bram
  Stoker, Oscar Wilde and Flann O’Brien.
  This year’s book is Echoland by Joe
  Joyce – a gripping thriller set in Dublin
  during World War Two.
