Public to get view of rarely seen Dublin buildings

Interior Busaras

People will have an opportunity this weekend to get a glimpse into parts of many architecturally important buildings in Dublin that are not normally open to the public. As part of the "Open House Dublin" weekend, there will also be walking tours of new and established neighbourhoods in the city. More than 50 events involving nearly 100 buildings are involved in the project, organised by the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF). Foundation chairperson Antoinette O'Neill said last night that all the events requiring prebooking, or tickets were already booked out, and there were indications that many other buildings would attract large crowds. "I feel I must warn people that queues are likely, and people may not be able to get into particular buildings they had hoped to visit."
