I toured Ireland from Dublin to Limerick in 1969 in a chauffeur-driven Austin Vanden Plas. The countryside was beautiful and the people were friendly. Dublin was the filthiest city I’ve ever visited and I’ve traveled a lot. I remember that we stayed in the nicest hotel in Dublin, the Shelbourne, and it was dingy, dirty, and depressing.

Hmm. Im from NYC. Been to Chicago, Dallas Houston, etc

Paris, London, Berlin, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Geneva, Rome most cities in Italy, other places I never talk about and Dublin

Spent months in Dublin

I don’t remember it being dirty. I do remember the people in Dublin and all the Irish cities and towns in Ireland being the kindest of anywhere.

People always wanted to go to Ireland to golf, retire, fish

My friends frequented Ireland the always stayed at the shelbourne. No complaints. It looked charming from the outside. I stayed near at a B&B on st Stephen’s green. It was charming.
