Dublin Castle Trip

We visited Dublin Castle where President Catherine Connolly was officially inaugurated just two weeks before our visit! We also visited the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham earlier this year where the other official presidential engagements took place. We had a concrete understanding of where these events were held because we had been there ourselves. We saw a dining room set up as it would have been for large dinner parties, the throne room and samples of clothing worn in the past. We asked really insightful questions to our tour guide to learn even more about the role of Dublin Castle in Irish history.
