“Oh Dublin can be heaven with a coffee at 11 and a stroll in Stephen’s Green”

As someone with a background in musical theatre and operetta, Áine finds it perfectly natural to burst into song whilst strolling the fascinating streets of Dublin.  Her passion for exploring Dublin was born from exploring the world performing on Cruise Ships and having a fabulous time altogether. Ultimately realising “there really is no place like home” (as a former Glinda the Good Witch, she says this with good authority), she has now exchanged her sailor’s hat and life jacket for a good coat with a hood – a necessity for the mercurial Irish weather. (Trips over rainbows not guaranteed on tour, the leprechauns have dibs.)

“Be yourself, everyone else is taken.” (Oscar Wilde)

Áine particularly loves sharing Ireland’s unique, rich cultural heritage and history through the Artwork and Architecture found in Dublin. Favourites include Oscar Wilde’s colourfully redolent statue, the haunting famine memorials, the multifaceted stories of St Patrick’s Cathedral and Dublin Castle, the folkloric Setanta mural and Children of Lir Statue, the exquisite Book of Kells and Trinity Library, and the symbolically rich Daniel O’Connell statue – a firm favourite with the seagulls.
