Default Going to Dublin, what to do?

Apart from sampling lots of the black stuff, what is there to do in Dublin?

Probably going to go on a Guniness tour and take a a look at the castle but stuck after that.

ditto above, guiness tour is pretty good, Temple Bar is always the obvious choice and its great down there, and if your into golf and weather permitting there are some good courses around.

Johnnie Fox's

Was a good laugh. we got a taxi to take us up there and to pick us up later - the last bit is very important as there were loads of folk hoping to just hail a cab - the place is in the middle of nowhere !!!

Be warned, just got back. Its 5 euro 20 cents per pint of Guiness in Temple Bar (and temple bar is a place full of bars, not an actual bar).

It's an awsome city though.

The beer's not cheap.
If the weather's good and you're at a bit of a loose end, try the DART to Bray. If you sober up during, there's a porterhouse there too.

Porterhouse anyway for me. Though I don't dislike Guiness, 10+pints a day makes one yearn for something a little different.

As for the girls, learn a few Irish songs and keep "Fields of Athenry" up your sleeve as the banker

I sometimes just visit for a night or two at the most, Guinness certainly tastes better in Dublin, but so does any stout for that matter. I agree that after 24 - 48 hours you've had your fill of either! The next morning requires a bloody mary to enable further drinking to be accomplished.
