Students traveled to Dublin early Saturday morning to spend two days and one night in the city exploring all that Open House had to offer all over the city seeing some of irelands greatest Architecture, usually not open to the public.
The group started by visiting SAUL's own Peter Carrol's lucky Lane Mews House in Stoneybatter, then splitting up to cover all their individual lists. Places that proved popular were McCullough Mulvin Architects' Long Room Hub in Trinity College, Number 31 Leeson Close, the former home of Sam Stephenson and Henry J Lyons Architects' studio. Some was attempts to go see the Central Bank but were hindered by the Occupy Dame street protests.
After an exhausting but very productive weekend the group returned to Limerick on Sunday night.
