This year Ireland is celebrating the 99th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising and the comemeration of the subsequent war. For anyone thinking about possibly coming over, 2016 celebrating the 100th anniversary, might be a great year to visit. There should be a lot going on. Some information here: http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/step-into-history-as-1915-dublin-comes-to-life-on-easter-monday-31121543.html I will try to keep you posted as I see more information about 2016.
