I found a few more things to keep you going or that you might find interesting:

1) ARRRRRRRRRRGHHH!!!
Today is “Talk like a Pirate Day”, so the “Arrrrrgh!” could be talking like a Pirate or expressing your frustration about the new restrictions. In my case it is the restrictions that get me to react like that. And the announcement of restrictions like that on a Friday evening really makes forward planning in a cultural sense quite tricky.
So this week, this section of “further information” is not so well developed. I will mention the Online Courses and Book Depository again, because they will help you to keep busy and learn something new AND because buying from them will help the Dublin Event Guide.
But apart from that, I didn’t have enough time to compile more content for this section.
I will do better next week! ;-)
Two things I will mention, though, and I hope they will still be available after Culture Night:
—–
Have a look at the online tour through the fascinating and intriguing Freemason’s Hall here freemason.ie/culture-night-2020-video-tour/
And not really less intriguing, although for different reasons, you can also tour the place where our parlamentarians and Government normally do their job. Although at the moment they are in the CCD and not in Kildare Street for all Dail sessions. Here is a 3D Tour of Leinster House where the “Houses of the Oireachtas” are based: www.oireachtas.ie/

2) Dublin Festival of History – Global and Free
The Dublin Festival of History is continuing until 29 Sept. This year the festival will be fully online and all events will be free.

Check out www.dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/ where the full programme can be found. There are some really interesting talks, so don’t miss out!

3) Online Courses – Special Offer
During the Covid lockdown, enrollments in Udemy courses increased by 425%! Wow! What did you learn during that time? In September most Udemy courses will cost between EUR 10.99 and 12.99 again. At some point in August the courses were even reduced to 9.99, but these things happen sometimes without advance warning. I checked though and in September and October there are no 9.99 discounts planned, so you better get the courses when you see form for between 10.99 and 12.99. Please use this link shor.by/GqCk because if you buy through that link, you help the Dublin Event Guide! ;-)

4) Books
A new free Book summary can be found here every week: readitfor.me/91927 Readitfor.me actually provides a number of weekly free book summaries and they also have a special offer at the moment still that will expire soon: For $99 you will get Lifetime access to ALL book summaries! This is a great price if you consider that their normal monthly charge is EUR 10, so in just 10 month you would have spent more than with the lifetime access.

To buy physical books and e-books I recommend Book Depository because they are usually cheaper than others and they always include delivery for free (and by using this link you help the Dublin Event Guide). Please don’t use any other links than the one below!! (Book Depository changed all their links and with the old one you don’t help the Dublin Event Guide.) With this link you do help the Dublin Event Guide when you purchase a book and it doesn’t cost you a cent: shor.by/BookDepository
