Hi all!<\/a><\/p>\n

Snow!! A bit of snowfall is great and lifts the spirits of most, but it also can be a pain if you have to drive\/get to somewhere and be on time. Luckily Ireland is amazingly tolerant when it comes to snow induced hold ups. Well, our March snow (and it IS spring, I promise you!) didn’t last long in Dublin, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing: Great that we had it and great that it is gone again. ;-) But it will stay cold for another bit, so pack up warm this weekend when you go to events.<\/a><\/p>\n

[ad]<\/p>\n

I clearly haven’t cracked the secret on how to get the Dublin Event Guide to you earlier within the time constraints due to my day job. Giving up the day job is not an option – at least at the moment or unless someone with a fair amount of cash makes me an offer I can’t refuse. ;-) There are sooo many things I would like to improve, but regarding subscriber numbers and funding we are definitely at the moment much more in “Slow mode” than I would like.<\/a><\/p>\n

And so unfortunately I have to beg again: We ended up EUR 10 short in February and there have been no donations in March yet. That leaves 26 days to get EUR 200. If you can help with a donation, I would really appreciate it. I don’t want to take lots from you, but EUR 1 for every month of the year would be super and would help hugely. <\/a><\/p>\n

This is my weekly appeal, but in some weeks I need to stress it more (see paragraph above) than in other weeks: Please don’t forget that there are two areas the Dublin Event Guide needs your continued help with every week: Your donations<\/a> help paying the bills for sending the Dublin Event Guide every week, so please help if you can. Just 1 Euro per month (12 Euro per year) would be great. Unfortunately not many subscribers are prepared to or able to help, so please don’t rely on others!<\/p>\n

And secondly: without you spreading the word we would have never reached 24,000 subscribers and 60,000 Facebook Likes. But it is just the start!! The goals are MUCH bigger than that! :-) Imagine if everyone just got ONE additional person to subscribe to the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). That would be an immediate increase by a few thousand subscribers. Can you help?<\/a><\/p>\n

For donations go to http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> and the link to subscribe is http:\/\/www.dublineventguide.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

————————–<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the explanation regarding donations: To send the Dublin Event Guide and for domain names and for web hosting, I have a monthly bill of EUR 190 to cover. This is not for me, but all that money goes directly to external service providers. I am working approx. 35 hours on the Dublin Event Guide every week and don’t make any cent, that’s why I ask you to help with the cost if you can. If you can spare EUR 1 per month (that’s just 25 cent per edition!!) please donate EUR 12 for the year (or more if you can …or even less if you can’t). You can make your donation at http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> using Paypal or CreditCard or send me a mail dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a> and I can suggest other ways. I am also looking for some corporate sponsors, if you know someone, send them my way. :-)<\/p>\n

And please help spreading the word about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). Your friends can easily subscribe at http:\/\/www.dublineventguide.com<\/a> and they will get a weekly e-mail magazine with all the free events in Dublin if they subscribe. They don’t have to pay a cent (but donations are very welcome!) for that and their e-mail address is completely safe with me! More than 24,000 people receive the Dublin Event Guide every week and we are more than 60,000 people at the Dublin Event Guide Facebook Page at www.facebook.com\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> Check it out and click on LIKE when you are there.<\/p>\n

And this is a great opportunity to help the Dublin Event Guide for absolutely no cost to you:<\/a><\/p>\n

Without putting your hand in your pocket (for the Dublin Event Guide) at all you can help by ALWAYS using the ad links in the Dublin News Section and the ads in the Dublin Event Guides when you buy\/order goods. If you buy goods immediately (in the same session) after clicking on a link\/ad that you find in this e-zine\/newsletter (Groupon<\/a>, LivingSocial<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Book Depository<\/a>, LastMinute<\/a> etc), you help the Dublin Event Guide everytime. This is how it works: The company you buy from (Groupon, Amazon, LivingSocial, Book Depository etc) registers that you came to them via a link from the Dublin Event Guide and they show their appreciation by giving a small commission (5-8%) to the Dublin Event Guide. This might only be 30 cent a go, but if you did that for all online purchases and if lots of people used it, then it could make a big dent into the EUR 190 needed. Use these links as often as possible it doesn’t cost you a cent and you help big time!<\/p>\n

Have an event-full weekend and week,<\/a><\/p>\n

The “Feel Good Slot” at this place in the Dublin Event Guide is to share some inspirational, motivational or thought provoking quotes, stories or video clips. You wonder why I added this section to this e-mail magazine? If your week was great, you might not need it, but most of us had some challenging moments in the last week and there could be more in the coming week and this section is for the people that want to overcome the hurdles, achieve more and remember that despite all, life is great!<\/a><\/p>\n

Today’s Feel Good Slot comes with a little personal story if you allow me!<\/a><\/p>\n

My brother has two wonderful children. They are 4 and 7 and I am absolutely in love with my nephew and niece. They are really really good kids, but my parents – who look after them a good bit and who are unfortunately not young anymore – do struggle at times despite that. Both kids are a lot more “unruly” when they are with their grandparents than when they are with their parents and my mother has trouble accepting this. It’s nothing too serious, but “not doing what they are told” can be upsetting enough for grandparents.<\/a><\/p>\n

I keep telling my mother, that it is in the children’s job description that they HAVE to be a little rebellious. Firstly because they need to try out things that they will definitely not be allowed at home and secondly, they have to find out and learn where the limits really are.<\/a><\/p>\n

But this is not really limited to children, is it? We all do that to a degree. In work, at home, with friends. And coincidentally, I found this week the following quote by Herbert Simon, who – according to Wikipedia was “a Nobel laureate, an American political scientist, economist, sociologist, psychologist, and computer scientist whose research ranged across the fields of cognitive psychology” and a LOT more.<\/a><\/p>\n

He said: One finds limits by pushing them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I will remind my mother! ;-) But how does that apply to your life? Because pushing boundaries is not only in the context of “bad” behaviour. Do you push the limits of your good sides? You could be a LOT better if you pushed harder!?!?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This part is important to “keep the show on the road”:<\/a><\/p>\n

To cover the cost for the Dublin Event Guide I need your help and every week generous and nice Dublin Event Guide readers help with a donation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week only Louise F was so wonderful to support the Dublin Event Guide with a donation. Thanks a lot! Please keep in mind that without donations there won’t be a Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events): Your donation will ensure that the Dublin Event Guide will continue arriving in your Inbox every week and every donation will benefit EVERY Dublin Event Guide reader!<\/a><\/p>\n

The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is approx. EUR 190 per month and a donation from you of just EUR 12 per year will ensure that I will be able to pay the bills.
Has the Dublin Event Guide helped you to find events that you otherwise wouldn’t have known about, or have you saved money by finding great free events? Then please go to here<\/a> and give something back if you can!<\/p>\n

I appreciate ANY help: EUR 12 would be great (that’s just 25 cent per week!), but even if it is just the price of 2 pints it will help.<\/a><\/p>\n

You can donate online by following this link to the PayPal&CreditCard donation page<\/a>. If you want to transfer your donation directly to my account, just send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com and I will send you the details.<\/p>\n

\"Eventbrite\"<\/a>The main sponsor is Eventbrite<\/a> and their support is hugely appreciated! Eventbrite<\/strong> enables people all over the world to plan, promote, and sell out any event, and has sold over 200 million tickets and registrations worldwide, totalling more than $3 billion in gross ticket sales. Eventbrite<\/strong> is free for free events. The online event registration service makes it easy for everyone to discover events, and to share the events they are attending with the people they know. In this way, Eventbrite<\/strong> brings communities together by encouraging people to connect through live experiences.<\/p>\n

All events listed in this Event Guide are free of any admission charges (or at least appear to be free) unless otherwise stated. I try to find confirmation in all cases and do my best to double-check the information. However errors can happen and therefore no promise for correctness can be given.<\/a><\/div>\n

This section is intended to provide some help in picking and choosing from the huge number of events by sharing with you what I will\/might or would do. This is not a “best of…” list and if an event is not listed here, it by no means implies that the event is not interesting. Instead my “picks” are just based on my personal preferences. All events mentioned here are described in detail further down.<\/em><\/p>\n

This weekend the new weekly Bernard Shaw Flea Market might interest you and then on Thursday the opening of the new Science Gallery Exhibition are two highlights.<\/a><\/p>\n

Add the Printfest on Saturday and the many free Five Lamps Arts Festival events to it and you will be really busy!<\/a><\/div>\n

Help the Dublin Event Guide! It won’t cost you a cent!<\/h2>\n
\n

Do you enjoy free events? Does it help you to find out about all these free events simply in one e-mail magazine or on one website? Does the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) deliver all this for you and maybe even more? In that case, you probably also would want it to continue forever, right?<\/a><\/p>\n

To achieve that some money is needed. Donations are a great help, but not everyone feels they can donate at the moment. So here is the solution: If you could help with a donation without having to pay a cent from your own money wouldn’t that be cool? You can!!<\/a><\/p>\n

When you buy books online, buy them from Book Depository or from Amazon and use these links to go to the website:<\/a><\/p>\n

Book Depository<\/a>
Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

And when you buy from Living Social or Groupon use these links:<\/a><\/p>\n

Groupon <\/a>
LivingSocial <\/a><\/p>\n

When you buy holidays (from Lastminute.com, Expedia or Hotels.com) or other products buy them via clicking on the links below:<\/a><\/p>\n

HMV<\/a> | | Vodafone<\/a> |
Expedia<\/a> | Lastminute.com<\/a> | Hotels.com<\/a><\/p>\n

When you click on the link and then buy, your books\/products\/holidays etc cost exactly the same as if you went to the website directly. But if you go via the links above, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will get 5-8% of what you spend as a commission. That’s not a lot, but if you and lots of other people used that link every time, it would amount to a fair amount of crucially important money. Use the links often, actually EVERY time you buy from the relevant site, not just once!<\/a><\/p>\n

Giving money for free! That’s how easy it is. ;-) THANK YOU!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parish Records from 1655-1915 now online – Good News for Family Historians<\/h2>\n
\n

Ten million historical records from Catholic parishes throughout Ireland have been published online. The records span from 1655-1915 and the reason why no newer records are included is because there is a waiting period of 100 years before records are allowed to be made public.<\/a><\/p>\n

The National Library of Ireland had all the digital images of the parish records and they now have been indexed so that you can search them. The search of the records is free and will remain so. To celebrate the addition, FindMypast.ie<\/a> is making searches for ALL their Irish records free until Monday 07 March. (You will have to register to show the record, though and to use the service when the free period expires you will have to pay a monthly fee<\/a>.) More details about the 10 mio new records are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Epicurian Food Hall to close?!<\/h2>\n
\n

Rumours have emerged that the Epicurian Food Hall in Liffey Street will close this weekend (05 March) with an uncertain future. After it was upgraded just about a year ago, this is a surprising development and the popular hotch potch of ethnic eateries will be missed by many. There is a possibility that it will re-open with a much smaller size, but information was sparse.<\/a><\/p>\n

I rang the owners of the Epicurian Food Hall, the property developer “Layden Group”, but they were unfortunately not interested in providing any information. And all (there are many!) websites and Facebook Pages for the Food Hall haven’t been updated for ages.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are in the area, it would be great if you could check what’s up and let me know! Thanks!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Seachtain na Gaeilge – Irish Language Week<\/h2>\n
\n

From 01-17 March the Irish Language Week (looks more like a Irish Language Fortnight!) is taking place. There are a good few events planned and I assume that some of them will be free as well, but since the site is in Irish only and my Irish skills run out after 2 or 3 sentences and a few more words, I can’t really include events here when I don’t understand what the description says.<\/a><\/p>\n

So, unfortunately you have to check them out yourself, but I can at least help with the address for the website:<\/a><\/p>\n

Mother’s Day<\/h2>\n

08:00, Sun 06 Mar<\/h3>\n

Various locations in Dublin and Dun Laoghaire<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

If you are Irish, British or American you should know that the first Sunday in March is Mother’s Day (some call it Mothering Sunday, which sounds so wrong to me). But if you are from any other country, you might celebrate Mother’s Day in May.<\/a><\/p>\n

I suggest, no matter where you are from, just tell your mother – if possible – what she means to you and if you can’t tell her, do something special to celebrate\/remember her.<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, Mother’s Day has – like Valentine’s Day – become a very commercial day, but you don’t HAVE to join in the exact same way. You can hand make a card (yes, even guys can do that!! ;-) ) or just show your appreciation in a non-commercialised way.<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, I prefer to widen the scope of the day to current and future mothers and all women\/ladies\/girls that have looked after children at any point. Inclusiveness and all that!! ;-)<\/a><\/div>\n

Five Lamps Arts Festival<\/h2>\n

09:00, Sun 06 Mar<\/h3>\n

Dublin (various locations) <\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Five Lamps Arts Festival is a creative arts festival in the North Inner City that is packed with events and many of them are free events. With a wide variety and of events, it is one of the most popular arts festivals in Dublin. It has its name from the area where it is initiated in: The Five Lamps is a street lamp with – you guessed it! – 5 lamps and it is located on Amiens Street not too far from Connelly Station at a junction with four other streets (North Strand Road, Portland Row, Seville Place and Killarney Street).<\/a><\/p>\n

The full programme is here http:\/\/www.fivelampsarts.ie\/new\/2016-festival-programme\/<\/a> Unfortuantely there is no PDF version of the programme.<\/p>\n

A number of free events are in the daily listings, but have a look at the full programme as well! I had planned to include all free events, but there are sooo many (that’s a good thing!) that I wasn’t able to, so please please spend some time looking at the full programme via the link above.<\/a><\/div>\n

Smithfield Horse Fair<\/h2>\n

09:00 – 13:00, Sun 06 Mar<\/h3>\n

Smithfield Plaza, Dublin 7<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Smithfield Horse Fair was a long standing institution where for many years at the first Sunday in every month, horse traders (mainly from the travelling community) came together to sell and buy horses. If I remember right, the fair is a right that is firmly written down. However, bad treatment of animals, anti-social behaviour and other problems (even a shooting) turned this horse market into a nightmare for Dublin City.<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems they couldn’t stop it<\/a> or make it illegal, but they were able to limit the market to twice per year and so the highly regulated Smithfield Horse Fair takes place on the first Sunday in March and in September.<\/p>\n

Initially an attempt was made to add music, storytelling and other entertainment to the event so that the horse trading would be pushed in the background, but that didn’t work. So now it is back to horse trading as the main purpose.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trader need to register with Dublin City and get a trading license for the day and with all these restrictions the market is definitely not what it was before.<\/a><\/p>\n

Did it solve the problem? Well, it is highly unlikely that the horse traders now only twice a year sell and buy horses. So if they buy and sell more frequently then the trading happens elsewhere where the authorities can’t keep an eye on it. Consequently the problem might have gone away for Dublin, but if we don’t see it, it doesn’t mean it is not happening!<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the big questions that people ask:
1) What is there to do?
2) I love animals. In the interest of the horses, should I go to the Horse Fair or stay away?<\/p>\n

1) There is not much to do at the event, but you will see a good few horses and a horse fair is a bit of a spectacle.
2) Many have the concern that going to the Horse Fair would support bad treatment of animals because sellers and buyers at the fair have been found in the past to mistreat the horses and ponies. However, your attendance (or not) will not have any impact on the horse fair and will also not influence the sellers or buyers to treat the animals in any other way than they normally do. Because the authorities are expected to be there in big numbers the horse handlers are probably on their best behaviour anyway. So it is unlikely that your attendance or non-attendance will have any impact on the welfare of the animals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up<\/h2>\n

14:00, Sun 06 Mar<\/h3>\n

Dublin (various locations) <\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The “Dublin Sketchers” is an informal group of (hobby) artists who go somewhere different in Dublin every Sunday (e.g. National Museum, Maritime Museum, Dublin Flea Market, Farmleigh, Botanic Gardens, Dublin Castle, Science Gallery, …), sketch for one to two hours and then meet up for coffee afterwards and discuss their sketches.<\/a><\/p>\n

There are some hugely talented people among them and it is a great idea to meet up with others who have the same hobby. Find out on their website below or on their Facebook Page<\/a> where they will meet and join them if you do some sketching\/drawing yourself. I know that the Dublin Sketchers often use the Dublin Event Guide to find interesting free events and I am delighted to be able to help!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Five Lamps Arts Festival is a creative arts festival in the North Inner City that is packed with events and many of them are free events. With a wide variety and of events, it is one of the most popular arts festivals in Dublin. It has its name from the area where it is initiated in: The Five Lamps is a street lamp with – you guessed it! – 5 lamps and it is located on Amiens Street not too far from Connelly Station at a junction with four other streets (North Strand Road, Portland Row, Seville Place and Killarney Street).<\/a><\/p>\n

The full programme is here http:\/\/www.fivelampsarts.ie\/new\/2016-festival-programme\/<\/a> Unfortuantely there is no PDF version of the programme.<\/p>\n

I had planned to include all free events, but there are sooo many (that’s a good thing!) that I wasn’t able to, so please please spend some time looking at the full programme via the link above.<\/a><\/div>\n

Hong Kong’s “Fishball Revolution” – Talk<\/h2>\n

Jigsaw (formerly Seomra Spraoi), 10 Belvedere Court, Dublin 1 <\/p>\n\n\n

The Workers Solidarity Movement in Jigsaw (formerly Seomra Spraoi) will discuss Hong Kong’s “Fishball Revolution”, which is a name used for the violent clashes between protesters and police that broke out just a month ago on 08 February, when Hong Kong police tried to close down unlicensed food stalls in the working class area Mong Kok. The conflict seems to be a lot deeper than just over a few food stalls that only planned to be open for 3 days anyway and appears to be rooted in the concern about the increasing hold China is taking of affairs on Hong Kong.<\/a><\/p>\n

Admission is free.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Five Lamps Arts Festival is a creative arts festival in the North Inner City that is packed with events and many of them are free events.

There is a growing view that progressive taxes on personal and corporate incomes are \u201charmful,\u201d that is, detrimental to growth and to employment. This \u201charmful taxes\u201d view has developed into an intellectual argument to shift taxes from profits and incomes to consumption, based on a particular hierarchy of taxes.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c9amonn Ceannt, The Piper – Bi-lingual talk + performance<\/h2>\n

18:30, Thu 10 Mar<\/h3>\n

Dublin City Library and Archive, 138-144 Pearse Street, Dublin 2<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

“\u00c9amonn Ceannt, The Piper: Cultural Politics in early 20th Century Ireland” is a bi-lingual talk about the history of the Dublin Pipers\u2019 Club and Na P\u00edobair\u00ed Uilleann and a performance of traditional airs and tunes by members of Na P\u00edobair\u00ed Uilleann.<\/a><\/p>\n

“\u00c9amonn Ceannt was a skilled Uilleann Piper and founding member of the Dublin Pipers\u2019 Club. The origins of the Dublin Pipers\u2019 Club are tied up with the Literary Revival, which focused interest on all aspects of Irish culture including music. The National Literary Revival that began during the closing decade of the nineteenth century heralded the birth of the Gaelic League, the Feis Ceoil and the Dublin Pipers\u2019 Club. Many members of the Pipers\u2019 Club had dual membership of the Gaelic League and later of the Irish Volunteers.”<\/a><\/p>\n

The Five Lamps Arts Festival is a creative arts festival in the North Inner City that is packed with events and many of them are free events.

When you go to see the exhibition, get help from the Science Gallery mediators!

Please note: This section contains observations taken from the world I live in that strike me as odd. I express my personal opinion and you might not share it. ;-) If you are easily offended by opinions that are not identical with your own, please don’t read this section and I am VERY serious about that!<\/a><\/p>\n

Irish Politics – What now?
<\/strong><\/p>\n

The election is over and the results are interesting. Obviously everybody can interpret the results differently based on their own preferences and therefore my interpretation can’t be completely neutral either. But this is what I see:<\/a><\/p>\n

Fine Gael and Labour were punished severely for how they ran the country in the last 5 years. Labour largely lost their identity and differentiation in the last 5 years and this resulted in a wipeout in many constituencies. But if you think it is over for Fine Gael and Labour, you will be wrong. As we have seen with Fianna Fail, all that is needed is a government that does things in no better way and suddenly you can be back at the races. So if Fine Gael and Labour want to have a chance to win again next time, they should just let Fianna Fail run the country further into the ground.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sinn Fein definitely is the biggest winner, but many think that they will win as long as they are not involved in a government as their promises don’t seem to be realisable. The rest is just the rest. Yes, some could get a king maker role in the search for a stable government but since most Independent and many others are more interested in their constituency than the country their election is in many cases counterproductive.<\/a><\/p>\n

What now? The worst would be to have a new election very soon and luckily the politicians agree with that largely. A new election now would result in a possibly totally random result. Some voters could be shocked about the wins or losses of one or the other party and might change thei voting behaviour significantly, so the outcome is unpredictable and nobody who just got voted in would want that. <\/a><\/p>\n

So then the only other option is to build a government. The two parties are struggling against it, but in my opinion Fianna Fail and Fine Gael should definitely form a Grand Coalition. They have well over 50% of the seats and the voters did want to have them in that position. Micheal Martin’s suggestion of a comprehensive reform of the Dail and the system is a very good idea and the two big parties could work that out together. It doesn’t really matter to the country or the people who is Taoiseach, but I can understand why to the parties this looks differently. A Grand Coalition can be good for the country, but it also can be detrimental to the junior partner in such a coalition. They might get punished in the next election even further.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sinn Fein might get away again of not having to take any leadership role, but they won’t get away forever. There wanting to stay in the opposition is well justified and makes sense from their point. In control they would have to put promises into reality and that can be very very difficult….and once you screw up, your meteoric rise might not continue.<\/a><\/p>\n

So there is a LOT of strategising going on. More than is good for Ireland. But ti shouldn’t really surprise us that the parties, like the Independents, more think about their own bacon than about what is good for the country.<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, if no government is found, that’s no problem. The Irish constitution has considered that as a possibility: The old government will continue until a new government is found. There will never be a gap. Minority governments are also a possibility. Yes, more negotiation will be required. But essential laws have even in the past been agreed by the big parties, so they could still continue with that. And non essential laws are just that: Non essential! The budget is many moons away and even a need to negotiate a budget that would be acceptable by all might not be automatically a bad thing.<\/a><\/p>\n

Are we in a mess? Not at all! There is no panic or worry about the future of the country. I hope they will all talk to all parties and see what makes sense and what can be done and at some stage in the next few months, we will probably have a new government again. Patience!! :-)<\/a><\/div>\n
