Essential Travel Advice
OPEN DATES AND TIMES:
Open dates and times may be subject to change,
and can vary throughout the seasons and day

Businesses indicating ‘Open Year-Round’
often close at certain times, for example,

recommend that you check dates and times

CORE OPERATING TIMES:
The core operating times for many tourism
businesses are typically between 10:00 and
17:00h, with the last entry one hour or more
before closing. Many also operate extended
operating times during the high season when
there are more hours of daylight. It is always best
to check their times in advance of visiting.
BOOKING REQUIREMENTS:
Many attractions, activities, and entertainments,
require advance booking for tours and visits.
Some entertainments and activities also operate
subject to demand. You should always check to
see if booking is required.

DUBLIN CITY
FAMINE MEMORIAL
Dublin City
Poignant reminders of
the Great Famine
The Famine statues on Custom House Quay were designed and
crafted by renowned Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie in 1997.
The figures of starving men, women and children are haunting
and unforgettable. The location of these sculptures is of particular
importance since one of the first voyages of the Famine period
departed from this quay in 1846. The cause of the Famine is
blamed on a potato disease commonly known as potato blight.
Almost 1 million people died during this time, and a million more
emigrated.
