Tourist Trail 'Could Enrich' Dublin's Docklands
#TouristTrail - The Sunday Times reports of a proposed Dublin Docklands tourism trial that could feature stories such as the gory death of pirates, the plight of lepers on Misery Hill, and the burgeoning success of U2.
The plan was discussed last Wednesday at a meeting in Dublin city council, attended by representatives from the Department of Environment, Waterways Ireland, Nama, the Dublin Dock Workers Preservation Society, the Dublin Port Company and Joe Costello, a Labour TD.
"The west of Ireland has the Wild Atlantic Way, and now there's going to be the Ancient East trail in the southeast," said Costello. "Yet you can walk down the Liffey in Dublin and there's nothing to tell you about its rich seam of history. From the Vikings and the Famine ships, to the Jeanie Johnston and U2's first recording studio, the area has a lot to offer.
