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

The Dublin Event Guide is now complete and I hope the preliminary version with all Saturday events but some missing events during the week helped you earlier today. The final version now has over 195 events in it and all are free. <\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for all your support! Last week I found out that the daily Dublin Event Guide Facebook message is read regularly in at least 11 countries outside Ireland: USA, Germany, UK, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Finland, Italy and Saudi Arabia.How cool is that! ;-)<\/a><\/p>\n

[ad]<\/p>\n

The financial side is looking up a little. Thanks to more support last wee, we now have managed (Just in time!!!) to cover all outstanding bills in full! That’s great news! But the next bill of EUR 240 is only a few days away and we need to find again that amount within 30 days, so the battle continues! So PLEASE please help via PayPal here<\/a> even if you only have a few Euro, everything counts!!<\/p>\n

And don’t forget that you can also help without spending a cent of your own money, if you buy through the advertisement links that are in the Dublin Event Guide or that are on the Dublin Event Guide Shopping Page at http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide\/shop<\/a> If you want to buy from Groupon or LivingSocial or Amazon or Bookdepository or eBay or Asos or New Look or PrettyLittleThing or SportsDirect, just go to that website and click on the relevant link and it will bring you to the right place. The company you buy from will take 5-8% out of their profit (depending on the company) and will reward the Dublin Event Guide for promoting that company. But importantly you don’t pay more! Here are the links: www.dublineventguide.com\/shop<\/a> Thanks for using this page!<\/p>\n

++++++++<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dublin Event Guide needs your continued help in two areas: Your donations<\/a> help paying the bills for sending the Dublin Event Guide every week. Just 1 Euro per month (12 Euro per year) would be great, more would be even better. Unfortunately not many subscribers are prepared (or able) to help, so please don’t rely on others! Your money will be used to pay the monthly EUR 240 bill for sending the newsletter using MailChimp<\/a>, for web hosting and domain names. I am happy to work 35 hours on the Dublin Event Guide every week without making anything from it, but for the bills I need your help. You can make your donation at http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> using Paypal or CreditCard or send me a mail at dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a> if you prefer to pay by bank transfer. Corporate or enterprise sponsors are very welcome too and will get a bundle of benefits as a thank you for their donation, contact me on sponsorship@dublineventguide.com to discuss the details.<\/p>\n

And here is the second area where you can help: Without you spreading the word we would have never reached 24,000 subscribers and 72,000 Facebook Likes. Send your friends to http:\/\/www.dublineventguide.com<\/a> where they can subscribe as well.<\/p>\n

+++++++++++<\/a><\/p>\n

And here 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 at all you can help the Dublin Event Guide! Just use the ad links in the Dublin News Section and the banner ads in other sections as often as possible 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 publication (for example for Groupon<\/a>, LivingSocial<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Book Depository<\/a>, LastMinute<\/a> etc), then you help the Dublin Event Guide everytime.
This is how it works: The company you buy from will give a small commission (5-8%) to the Dublin Event Guide as a thanks for pointing you in their direction. This might only be 30 cent a go, but if many of you did it every time you buy something online, then it could make a big dent into the EUR 240 needed. Importantly, you do not pay more, but the merchant accepts a slightly smaller profit. So clicking on these ads is helping everybody! Thanks!<\/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

This week I will present a song to you in the Feel Good Slot. If you grew up in Ireland and are of a certain age ;-) you will know that song well, but the song was released in 1998, that’s a LONG time ago. The song is called “Summer in Dublin” and the band was one of the biggest Irish bands in their time, so big that U2 hoped they could be as successful. ;-) Bagatelle was founded in 1978 and this Saturday they are in the Bowery in Rathmines for a gig (not free: EUR 15). That’s nearly 40 years!<\/a><\/p>\n

“Summer in Dublin” was one of their best known songs and I came across it when I moved to Ireland and I always liked it for its real and “tangible” lyrics. And since we are also having some summer now, let’s have a listen:<\/a><\/p>\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

This week donations came from Julia Sch, Helen B, Susan H and Paula R and with all the help over the last three week we just made it to clear the bill before the next one arrives. Thank you so much! Your help is much needed and VERY much appreciated.<\/a><\/p>\n

Without donations the Dublin Event Guide will not continue arriving in your Inbox every week! Your donation will benefit EVERY Dublin Event Guide reader, but no donations will eventually kill this resource for Dublin.<\/a><\/p>\n

The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is EUR 240 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

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 guarantee 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 week there is the Malahide Has It Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Atmosphere (Ballons, Kites & Flight) Festival in Dun Laoghaire on Saturday and Hotter than July World Music Festival and the Dublin Flea Market on Sunday.<\/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

Or when you buy from eBay or you want to buy holidays or clothes or anything else, check first<\/a><\/p>\n

www.dublineventguide.com\/shop<\/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

And if you want to donate money directly, then you can do that here: http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donation.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Are you single? – Maybe the CSO wants to help!?<\/h2>\n
\n

Census results are usually released in batches by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), probably because it takes some time to gather all the data and the results are generated in batches and then are released.<\/a><\/p>\n

The newly released information contains details about households and families in Ireland and can be found here<\/a>. Maybe to help single people in Ireland, one the features is an interactive map of the single population in 2016 and you can find that map here<\/a>. You could wonder if the CSO wants to make sure that for the next census you are coupled up!? ;-)<\/p>\n

They should have differentiated a little more and added more granularity. There are six categories between 25.5% and 50.1% of single person households, but surprisingly NO further categories for the “<25.5%\" or the \">50.1%”. That is an odd bias for one 25% wide segment. In addition they chose the colours badly. The 45-50% and the >50.1% categories look so similar that you can’t differentiate them in the map. <\/a><\/p>\n

Going by the map, it seems that WHOLE Dublin is a single zone, so no sub-areas are further detailed. And Cork, Limerick and Galway show the same level of singles. Malahide, by the way, is not the best patch if you are looking.<\/a><\/p>\n

An interesting map, but more for how much information it does NOT provide than for its usefulness. Single people, the CSO is useless when it comes to matchmaking support! ;-)<\/a><\/p>\n

But there are some other interesting facts on an Infographics here<\/a>: Not surprisingly of the adult children that live with their parents, 58.6% are male and only 41.4% are female. Out of the whole population over 15 years of age, 1.792mio people are married, but 1.963mio people are unmarried (single+divorced+separated+widowed). (I find it strange that the group being looked at is “population over 15”. At least the 15-18 bracket is not exactly the most relationship-prone group, so why are they are lumped in with the adults?)<\/p>\n

Another surprise (but the inclusion of kids in the “unmarried” doesn’t help to get useful figures): While there are 1.963mio unmarried people, only 399.815 people live on their own.<\/a><\/p>\n

Summer of Heritage 2017 in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown<\/h2>\n
\n

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown is the leading example in the whole Greater Dublin area of top class historic events for everybody and Dublin City really could learn from them!<\/a><\/p>\n

The Summer of Heritage programme of events is a series of 30 free guided tours run by the Heritage Office of D\u00fan Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council from 26 June until 03 September. The tours are suitable for families, historic groups and individuals interested in local history and some of the locations\/tours are The Oratory, Seapoint Martello Tower, Holy Trinity Church Kiliney, Historic Dundrum, Kill Abbey, Obelisk Stillorgan, James Joyce Tower, Historic Blackrock, The Metals, Dun Laoghaire Harbour Walk, National Maritime Museum, Dalkey Castle, Monkstown Castle.
Most tours happen a number of times during the week and the full programme can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n

The topic this year is <\/a><\/p>\n

CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF REBEL RADIO.<\/a><\/p>\n

During the Easter Rising a message was broadcast from O\u2019Connell Street to the world announcing the establishment of an Irish Republic. And this was only the beginning. Be it Pirate Radio, Free Radio or Community Radio Ireland has a fascinating history of citizens taking to the airwaves.<\/a><\/p>\n

This event will look at the history of many of these achievements in broadcasting, you will hear the story of the local Irish stations from the 1970s and 80s onwards, the key role Ireland played in the famous off-shore pirate radio ships, and examining the motives behind some of the projects – be they political, a form of self-expression or simply the desire to play great music! The speakers will also examine why broadcasting regulations are so restrictive and discuss how new technologies are providing fresh opportunities for the determined enthusiast.<\/a><\/p>\n

Admission is free, but “sales” of the free tickets via the Eventbrite platform has ended, so the only way is to go to the venue directly and to see if there is still space. (A light lunch will be provided, but might not be available for you if you have not pre-booked.)<\/a><\/div>\n

So how people are meant to find out what is happening is not clear.<\/a><\/p>\n

But it is a busy festival with lots of things happening, so it would be a pity to ignore it. To give you the best possible chance to see what is happening, I have uploaded the festival schedule to this location<\/a>. If you check the picture at that location, you should be able to zoom in properly and at least see a bit more. The quality is not great, because I only had the low Facebook picture quality but the “zoomability” is much better.<\/p>\n

Sounds like lots of fun, BUT there is a problem! While admission is free, it was necessary to book tickets to get access and all tickets are gone. innocent however have offered to let walk ups in, but only if it is not too busy. So, you might be lucky, but there is no guarantee.<\/a><\/p>\n

Magazine Fort – FOUR Guided Tours<\/h2>\n

10:00 – 16:30, Sun 30 Jul<\/h3>\n

Magazine Fort, Phoenix Park, Dublin 8<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Magazine Fort in Phoenix Park is unusually neglected and at the same time unusually rich in history. Many have seen it as a barred off concrete fortress in a corner of Phoenix Park and even more don’t even know or have forgotten that it exists. The old Phoenix House, the home of the British Viceroy, was on the site where the fort was built from the early 17th century and then in 1734 the Fort was built and extended in 1801.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1916 the Fort was raided by the rebels who expected to find a lot of explosives there, but found the Fort nearly empty. In 1939 the IRA raided the Fort and stole more than a million rounds of ammunition, but most of it was recovered over the following weeks.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since 1988, the Irish Army doesn’t use the Fort anymore and gave it back to the Office of Public Works (OPW), but not much good has happened to the Fort in the last 28 years (!!) and there were numerous speculations about the reasons for that.<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally since last year, guided tours were provided and were meant to run for three months until end of October 2016. But the interest was so great that the OPW decided to continue the tours with a reduced schedule over the winter. And since 02 April there will be tours again every Friday and Sunday at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 + 15:00 and only 20 places are available on each tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tickets are available at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre on a first come, first served basis and can not be pre-booked. A shuttle bus will bring the ticket holders to the Fort.<\/a><\/div>\n

Malahide is celebrating their Malahide Has it! Festival 2017 this weekend. Malahide might have it, but unfortunately the organiser don’t! The website hasn’t been updated since 2017 and the Facebook page below has an unreadable picture of the programme on it. So how people are meant to find out what is happening is not clear.<\/a><\/p>\n

But it is a busy festival with lots of things happening, so it would be a pity to ignore it. To give you the best possible chance to see what is happening, I have uploaded the festival schedule to this location<\/a>. If you check the picture at that location, you should be able to zoom in properly and at least see a bit more. The quality is not great, because I only had the low Facebook picture quality but the “zoomability” is much better.<\/p>\n

But let me tell you a little about the festival itself:
On Saturday and Sunday there will be a Food Stalls from 10:00-17:00, Children’s Entertainment with Carnival Games\/Free Face painting\/Free Ballon Modelling\/Magic Shows from 11:00-16:00 on the Green.
In New Street Live Music (15:00-22:00), Kids Basketball and Carnival Games (11:00-17:00) and RNLI demo (11:00-17:00) will take place.

+ Saturday: Paul Harrington, Readhead, Eoin Thomas, The Cover Band, Market Street and more
+ Sunday: Loose Change, Low Light Gathering, Phil Aherne, That’s Simple, Rampart’s Choir from BBC Pitch Battle and more
A Fun Fair will be on Malahide Beach from 11:00-22:00.<\/p>\n

As part of the current “Sound Check” exhibition in the Science Gallery you can rent out a bike to experience Dublin in a completely different way:<\/a><\/p>\n

Ya slip ta bang is an interactive composition mapped over the streets of Dublin that will unfold for you as you ride ‘sonic bikes’ along specific routes of the city. Accompanied by electronic music, the composition tells the story of recovering he roin addict Lucy Dolan as she returns to the city, revisiting important places in her life.<\/a><\/p>\n

The sonic bike is a bicycle with frame-mounted speakers that plays different sounds and music dependent on where the cyclist goes and how fast they ride, via a mounted location-sensitive system.<\/a><\/p>\n

The bikes can be rented for free for up to 1 hour on Thursday, Fridays, Saturday and Sunday between 12:30 and 16:00. The rules and conditions are on the website below and that is also where you book the bikes.<\/a><\/div>\n

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

14:00, Sun 30 Jul<\/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

Free Wednesday – Free Entrance to some OPW Heritage Sites<\/h2>\n

09:00, Wed 02 Aug<\/h3>\n

Various heritage locations in Dublin<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

For years, this event was one of the most popular monthly events with a HUGE amount of people taking part. But since last month, it was more or less terminated for all of us in Dublin.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Free Wednesday (currently) still continues outside of Dublin, but the interesting heritage sites in Dublin have been removed from the list. “Free Wednesday” is the first Wednesday every month when entry charges at some state-owned heritage sites are waived.<\/a><\/p>\n

The sites are all owned by the state and managed by the Office of Public Works (OPW). Many OPW managed sites can already be visited for free (e.g. Farmleigh House, Phoenix Park, National Botanic Gardens, Pearse Museum, etc), but some sites that normally charge a fee will be free every first Wednesday as well.<\/a><\/p>\n

Regrettably Kilmainham Gaol and Dublin Castle were removed from this great initiative and The Casino in Marino is still closed for an indefinite period of time, so the only site in Dublin that is still taking part (for another bit!?) is Rathfarnham Castle.<\/a><\/p>\n

Outside but near to Dublin, you can visit
+ Br\u00fa na B\u00f3inne Visitor Centre at Newgrange
+ Glendalough Visitor Centre in Wicklow
free of charge. The full list of sites in Ireland is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, as you can imagine, this event is very popular and therefore it is strongly recommended to arrive early at the venues. Once the day’s tickets are given out, you will not get access anymore.<\/a><\/div>\n

Magazine Fort – FOUR Guided Tours<\/h2>\n

10:00 – 16:30, Fri 04 Aug<\/h3>\n

Magazine Fort, Phoenix Park, Dublin 8<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Magazine Fort in Phoenix Park is unusually neglected and at the same time unusually rich in history. Many have seen it as a barred off concrete fortress in a corner of Phoenix Park and even more don’t even know or have forgotten that it exists. The old Phoenix House, the home of the British Viceroy, was on the site where the fort was built from the early 17th century and then in 1734 the Fort was built and extended in 1801.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1916 the Fort was raided by the rebels who expected to find a lot of explosives there, but found the Fort nearly empty. In 1939 the IRA raided the Fort and stole more than a million rounds of ammunition, but most of it was recovered over the following weeks.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since 1988, the Irish Army doesn’t use the Fort anymore and gave it back to the Office of Public Works (OPW), but not much good has happened to the Fort in the last 28 years (!!) and there were numerous speculations about the reasons for that.<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally since last year, guided tours were provided and were meant to run for three months until end of October 2016. But the interest was so great that the OPW decided to continue the tours with a reduced schedule over the winter. And since 02 April there will be tours again every Friday and Sunday at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 + 15:00 and only 20 places are available on each tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tickets are available at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre on a first come, first served basis and can not be pre-booked. A shuttle bus will bring the ticket holders to the Fort.<\/a><\/div>\n

Get A Loan and a Present of EUR 6 – Crazy Finance World!
<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first loan was probably arranged more than 2500 years ago and for the whole time since then, the principle of loans was that the person loaning money will have to pay for the loan through an interest rate. So over the loan period, more would be paid back to the person or “institution” that loaned the money than the loaner got in the first place. Makes sense to all of us even if we don’t like it if we are the ones needing the money.<\/a><\/p>\n

But suddenly in 2017 all this is turned upside down! For the first time in history a German Money Portal is giving out an unsecured 3 year loan of 1000 Euro where over the three year you will only have to pay back EUR 994, that’s an interest rate of -0.4%. The Smava Money Portal is doing this just as a marketing gimmick and it is strictly limited to EUR 1000 loans over three years, so you can’t get a loan for a car, house renovation, not even for a big holiday. But the fact that they consider this is interesting and you wonder what direction things will go. https:\/\/global.handelsblatt.com\/finance\/getting-paid-to-run-up-debt-799119<\/a><\/p>\n

For bigger money deposits many European banks already charge money to keep the deposit for their customer. This is also a negative interest rate, but in the other direction. Bank of Ireland does that already for a while for their big customers and now the AIB has announced it<\/a> as well. Imagine the bank took money away from you for your little bit of savings? (Well, they do through administration charges already, but they could take even more.) At the moment the penalties are only for big institutional depositors, but who knows what direction things will go….same thought as with the negative loan rates.<\/p>\n

It is a crazy world out there!<\/a><\/div>\n
