About
Deadly Dublin is a character driven tour where we find the most unusual, brilliant and nefarious Dubliners among the most famous Georgian or 1700’s Square in Dublin. While we walk through beautiful nature, we discover some horrors of the past such as a public hanging ground and ladies oppressing servants for stealing their tea.
We hear about concentration camps in the South African Boer War, wonderful speeches made in courtroom docks to a judge who was sleeping off a boozy lunch.
We give a fresh look to old events and wonder are we luckier now or was that glorious past a better country. What have lasers to do with St Stephen’s Green, let’s find out? We shall visit Lord Ardilaun and wonder how a private park could have been opened by a publicly traded alcohol producer. From there we will understand why some cost saving design features in buildings can be lifesaving!
You will be able to amuse and confuse your friends after this tour with what they think they know, such as why Central Park looks similar to St Stephen’s Green. We will also talk about the what if; the possible courses history could have taken. Would Dublin have been different if history had turned another way at key moments of the past.
