                <description><![CDATA[No 8 Merrion Square is the headquarters of the Institute of Architects.  It has a bookshop on the entrance level. The door opens magically in front of you when you walk up to it - just go in and turn left into the reception and say you want to look at the books.<br><br>Often there are architectural exhibitions in the basement level.  It's a great way to see the inside of one of the big houses on Merrion Square. <br><br>On the same side of the square, No 45 Merrion Square is the Irish<br>Architectural Archive - well worth a visit for anyone interested in<br>Irish architecture, and you get to see even more of the interior of an even larger 18th-century Georgian house.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[If you have any interest in contemporary art you have to visit the Douglas Hyde gallery when you're in Dublin.  It's not commercial and has without a doubt the best exhibitions (and lecture series) of any art institution in the city.  It's a strange deep box space which must be difficult to install work in, but often makes for interesting shows.  It's right in Trinity college, so will probably be on your tourist trail.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Go and see St Valentine's shrine, which contains parts of his body! Dead romantic. It's about a ten-minute walk to the south of the city centre. There is a great shop attached to the church if you like religous 'things'.]]></description>
