Hi all!

It’s election day and at the end of today there could be dramatic changes in the political landscape in Ireland OR all will stay the same. And both options seem worrying. The most important thing on election day in my opinion is that everyone who can and who is allowed will use their right to vote. But this time it is harder to make a decision than ever before. If you are still undecided, have a look at my analysis of the options at www.joergsteegmueller.com/

This year is the first time that an election takes place at the weekend, but weekends are the best time to vote! Everybody should find SOME time on a weekend day and also we don’t need to close the schools for another day. AND after you went voting, you could just stay out and go to one of the (free) events that take place in Dublin!

And if this Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) helps you finding some free events, please please please, help to keep it alive. Last week I got the lowest level of support since I brought the Dublin Event Guide out of semi-retirement.

Helping is really easy and doesn’t cost you a cent! Just a few clicks/taps and don’t rely on others to do it. You are needed!

And this is how you can help:
Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and at the top you will find the sentence “Is this what you were looking for?”. Right below that sentence you should find a rectangular ad. Please click on it!

The ad might change every time you open/refresh the page, so I can’t tell you what it is promoting. And if you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) Thanks!

If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 20 cent. That is not much, but if enough people help, it will do the job to cover the cost to keep the Dublin Event Guide going.

And here are two other ways to help if they work better for you, but they are not free:
First: You can donate directly via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide
Second: You can “Buy Me a Coffee” here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
Third: For the Revolut people among you it is super easy via 0872931571.

And here are the events: All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking! The market events that take place every week are only posted to people that have subscribed and on the website at www.dublineventguide.com
