the castle is almost 800 years old... well, at least portions of it. and its been owned by the same family all that time until they sold it to the Dublin Tourist Council in 1975.
Malahide is about 20 minutes by train north of Dublin. as i walked through the small village between the train station and the castle i came across the thatched roof of a private residence....
after exploring the grounds and castle i got back on the north bound train and continued to the end of the line.
i arrived back in Dublin around 4 and in time for a quite look around the National Museum of Archaeology. much of the museum is closed for renovations / restorations but the exhibit i came for, Ireland's prehistoric, was still open.
just outside the Museum on the sidewalk is a short quote from Ulysses.
there several of these plaques around the city..
