Q. I have this geography assignment to make a power point presentation on a "trip" to Ireland. we only have monday and tuesday left to work in school, but I need some information on what to do in ireland, and one physical feaure of ireland. we have two cities we are "going" to. Dublin, and Cork.
A. Cork was voted the third best city to visit in the world by Lonely Planet in 2009! Cork is very pretty and the buildings are beautiful. Here is a picture of the main street, St. Patrick's Street: http://wikitravel.org/upload/shared/7/7d/Cork1.jpg
There are lots of really great shops in Cork and the whole city is covered by a bus system. One great thing about Cork is that it's on hills. The city centre isn't but if your hotel is on one of the hills you can see the whole city lit up at night! The river Lee flows through the city and the city centre is actually built on an island which is in the middle of the river. There are many bridges in Cork because of this. There's also allot of attractions in Cork like the English Market (which the Queen visited), the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork City Gaol, Cork City Museum, the Shandon Church where you can go and ring it's bells, the Butter Museum, St. Fin Baree's Cathedral, Blackrock Castle and Observatory and UCC.
Dublin is much bigger than Cork with a population of over 1,000,000 vs Cork's 192,000. Yes if you go to Dublin you can visit the Guinness and Jamestown factories. Dublin does have many nice old buildings too but not as nice as Cork in my opinion. Although Grafton Street is lovely: http://jenhanen.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/06302006011.jpg
Merrion Square, the Dáil, Government Buildings, the Four Courts and O' Connell Street also have many nice old buildings. Dublin is easier to get around than Cork because of the Luas(tram) and the Dart(city train) aswell as bus services. There are many museums and galleries in Dublin, the Zoo, the Spire, it's great for shopping! I love Dundrum shopping centre! There's Dublin Castle too! Dublin is great to visit if you like History and old buildings! Dublin is also the easiest city to get to from outside of Ireland. There's too much to list to do in Dublin to be honest!
What you could do is visit Cork from Dublin or vice versa. But there really is allot more to do in Dublin, even though I prefer Cork! There is a train every hour and it takes 2hrs 45mins

My class is organizing a trip to Dublin, Ireland, and we'd like some information please....??
Q. Can you please give us names of low rate yet decent hotels and also cultural centers we can visit ???
A. Come on of course Dublin has culture.!!!
Here is a list I recommend.
Visit Oscar Wilde home at Merrion Square Gardens.
James Joyce Centre in North Great George street.
Dublina at Christchurch - Viking stories.
Visit the free Museum of Natural History. The Bog Men who have been fully preserved in peat for over 3000 years.
Trinity college has alot of culture, see the Book of Kells also.
Hotels that are good and decent is hard.
I recommend Jurys Inn. There is three of them in the city.
Cheers
