  4. You could have a private party in the castle? My goodness, I wonder how expensive that would be. That would be the ultimate party, though. Maybe a wedding. Note to self: find a rich Irish single man.

  9. Our children stayed in Dublin for 3 years and we (from South Africa) visited them during their stay. Malahide Castle is really an incredible place. We also had the privilege of visiting Powerscourt gardens and – to me the highlight of our stay – the 5000 year old NewGrange.
