Travel guide to Dublin

i was in ireland for 3 weeks and spent alot of time in dublin and galway. it was the trip that changed the very being within me. Dublin was a great city and you nailed pretty much the major sights of the city. Temple Bar, although it comes highly recommended, was one of my least favorite bars and had a Temple Bar gift shop next door. it just shows to tourism flocks to this famous pub district. I think im going to publish an article on Matador about the irish pub and on where to actually look, but that entirely a different story all together.
