Nice stay in the Temple Bar area of Dublin. Close to a lot of dining and shopping options. Walkable to most everything else, including Trinity College/Book of Kells, St. Patrick Cathedral and several large churches, Dublin Castle, St. Steven's Green park, Grafton Street, and more. We especially enjoyed The Temple Bar Pub. We took a hop-on/hop-off bus to see more of the sights that were further away. For those of us not really up on Irish history, the Kilmainham Gaol is a must-see.
