Lord Mayor: Dublin falling behind on tourism
chaddarnell.typepad.com
Dublin is not competing as well as it should be with other European capitals in attracting high-end tourism, the city's Lord Mayor has warned.
Fianna Fail's Eibhlin Byrne said issues over safety and excessive drinking in the city centre as well as the lack of a convention centre for business events was hindering Dublin's saleability. She was speaking in advance of the inaugural meeting of business interests in the capital aimed at promoting the city as a world class destination.
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan, who attended the event, said the government was committed to investing in Dublin pointing out that construction on a National Convention Centre was already under way.

The youth involved lost his finger while trying to climb over a fence and it had nothing to do with "being attacked".
Re: DUBLIN
I find that Dublin is very, very expensive. It is actualy in some cases more expensive than the city of London. I have been three times to the city and have left feeling (pls. excuse the phrase) - "ripped off". I also found it overwhelming and insecure with the amount of stag nights and hen parties taking place and the lack of control in the city centre in the evening.
