Smock Alley Theatre is a historic Dublin venue and the first public theatre built in the city, originally opening in 1662.
It is located on Smock Alley (now Exchange Street Lower), close to the River Liffey and Dublin Castle.
Its opening marked the beginning of professional, modern theatre in Ireland after the period of Cromwellian prohibition.
It was the venue for the premieres of many works by prominent Irish playwrights, including those from the English Restoration period.
The original theatre was rebuilt and renovated several times but ultimately closed its doors in the late 18th century.
The building fell into disrepair and was repurposed for various uses, including a Catholic chapel named St. Michael and St. John's Church.
In the 21st century, the structure underwent a major restoration, preserving its facade and integrating it into a new space.
The theatre reopened in 2012 with a modern design that honours its heritage, including its original vaulted ceiling.
Today, it functions as a vibrant arts hub hosting theatrical productions, festivals, weddings, and various events.
It symbolises the resilience and rich history of Irish theatre and continues to be a central player in Dublin’s cultural scene.

The Famine Memorial by Edward Delaney, located at the northeast corner of St. Stephen's Green in Dublin, is a powerful work of art that commemorates the Great Irish Famine. The sculpture, created by the Irish artist Edward Delaney in 1967, consists of several bronze figures that evoke the desperation, hunger, and loss of this tragic period. The figures, with their skeletal forms and gestures of suffering, convey a sense of harshness and desolation. The memorial is considered an example of modern expressionism and stands out for its abstract and evocative character. Its location in one of the city's most central parks makes it a must-visit site for reflection for those who want to understand one of the most painful periods in Ireland's history.

The Three Fates Fountain, located in St. Stephen's Green, is a bronze sculpture representing the mythological figures of destiny. Created by the German sculptor Josef Wackerle, it was erected in 1956 as a gift from the Federal Republic of Germany to the Irish people. This gift was a gesture of gratitude for the humanitarian aid Ireland provided to German refugees, especially children, after World War II. The fountain symbolizes the three "Fates" or "Norns" of Norse mythology, who weave and measure the thread of life. It is a monument that symbolizes kindness and the connection between nations and a reminder of Ireland's generosity in a time of great hardship.
The Stag’s Head was the brainchild of Westmoreland merchant George Tyson who came to Ireland in the 1870’s and established a thriving Menswear and Haderdashery business in Grafton Street, from where he was appointed ‘outfitter and shirtmaker to the Lord Lieutenant’. He acquired this premises in the early 1890’s and commissioned leading architect J.M. McGloughlin of Pearse Street to build Dublin’s most advanced and distinctive Victorian pub - and the first in the Capital to enjoy electric light. The new creation opened its doors to the Dublin public in May 1894 amid majestic fanfare and distinguished patronage including the Lord Lieutenant and the most respected members of contemporary Victorian society. Tyson’s name is still to be seen on the large clock on the outside of the building. Another outstanding vestige of this era is the little parlour lounge discreetly situated behind the main bar; in former times this area served as a fashionable Victorian smoking room.

Met two friends for lunch in the suitably named Mo Chara pub as the name means 'my friend' in Irish.
They do a delicious mushroom soup so we were pleased that it was on today's menu. They also bottle their own beer.

"The Workman's Friend"
When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A pint of plain is your only man.
When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
A pint of plain is your only man.
When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.
When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
A pint of plain is your only man.
In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a daring plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
A pint of plain is your only man.
-- Flann O'Brien (Brian O'Nolan)
