Walking Tour with Arran Henderson “Portobello, Dublin’s little Jerusalem, and more”
Dublin’s rich Jewish history, late 19th century affordable housing schemes by the Dublin Artisan Dwelling Company (DADCo) and some of the area’s often surprising links to artistic, political, social and literary history: everything from painter Harry Kernoff to famous writers and broadcasters, a real life, WWII spitfire ace, an 1940s Oscar-winning actor and a vanished, long-forgotten zoo.
Meet outside NYX hotel, Portobello Harbour, 11a.m. sharp.
