ILUG doesn't have regular formal meetings although there was a POTD (Pint
of the Day) meetup last Friday in a Dublin pub which is alway a good
laugh.

If you want to the see the Book of Kells in Trinity College and are
extremely short of money and look like an avergage backpacker you can even
try asking a student to take you in for free.  Students that have their ID
card are allowed take two geusts for free to see the Book of Kells.

Museums and galleries are almost all free if you are looking for other
things to see on the cheap.

I'm also looking for an excuse to go to the Porter House again (they brew
their own beers, as does Messrs Maguires which is much more spacious and a
favoured haunt of ILUG).
