I got to go to Dublin for my company like 5 years ago and it's an awesome city. It is easily the most friendly place I've ever been to. It was like every single person's highlight of their day was talking to me. It actually took a couple of days to get used to how nice everyone was. It was the exact opposite of my trip to Germany the year before. Basically, Dublin is great and I literally can't say one bad thing about the experience I had there.
Most of the non work time we had was spent in various pubs throughout the city. If I could pick one place to recommend I would definitely suggest going to the area around Temple Bar. It's a really cool part of town and you have to drink a Guinness or 10 at the Temple Bar itself. It's a very cool pub. I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it, lol.
One other thing I noticed is that the hotel we stayed at, Bewleys at Ballsbridge, is one of the hotels in the GT travel packages. It's a pretty nice place but there's something else that makes it memorable, the horse statue they have. I think everyone going should stay there just to get a picture with the statue. Click the link below to see what I'm talking about. This is the giant statue they have out in front of the hotel. (Picture linked to be on the safe side)
