The tour gave us a visual picture of Joyce's Dublin sprinkled with sites highlighting a few other famous Irish authors and play writes ( all of which can be supplemented at the MOLI museum)...the tour guide Jim Dempsey was extremely knowledgeable and amusing at times and a natural story teller... proud of his city...I think of him as the Woody Allen of Dublin.
