 No one on the bus by IrishFem
You can buy anything you want here...
Expensive, buy before you arrive.
Irish people and the weather:
It is often said that the Irish are a Mediterranean people who only come into their own when the sun shines on consecutive days
(which it last did around the time of St Patrick). For this reason, Irish people
dress for conditions in Palermo rather than Dublin; and it is not unusual in March to see young people sipping cool beer outside city pubs and cafes, enjoying the air and the soft caress of hailstones on their skin. The Irish
attitude to weather is the ultimate triumph of optimism over experience:
Every time it rains, we look up at the sky and are shocked and betrayed.
Then we go out and buy a new umbrella.

Dublin is a great city, but unfortunately it can be a bit cold and it does rain a fair bit. So just make sure you have an umbrella on you (just a small one will do). And dressing in layers also helps on cooler days.
Any toiletries or medical supplies that you might need should be readily available at any chemist in Dublin.
A good camera to capture all the sights of Dublin - unfortunately I did not take enough photos with mine, but there is always next time! Leave a Comment

Bring wellies, or at least water resistant shoes, an umbrella or a rain coat! Since you are never sure when it's gonna start pouring.
However if you dress in all this gear at once everyone will know you are a tourist, sometimes I suspect that the Dubs' are water resistant themselves...

An umbrella would be useful, but you'd probably lose it! :) A good warm jacket will see you through.
It will always threaten to rain or just rain, so layering your clothes (vest/t-shirt/jumper/hoody/coat) is the way to go - only tourists wear those special rain jackets.
You can get these in local supermarkets like Tesco, Dunnes Stores or Roches Stores or in Boots Chemists which have branches in Dublin city cente and all over Ireland
Boots Chemist for rolls of film. There is a camera store on Grafton St, on the Stephens Green end if you need more high-spec gear. Plenty of internet cafes and chemists will let you upload your digital camera shots too. Leave a Comment

 mind the rain by call_me_rhia
beach gear. you can safely leave it at home - the sea's far too cold to even thin about swimming in there. if u think u can brave the cold, still desist: thanks to sellafield, dublin beaches are quite unsafe and polluted
def bring some raingear. an umbrella or a rainjacket: irish rain is soft, but it's abundant too. Leave a Comment

Irish weather is very changeable so you need to be prepared for all eventualities!!!! You can get all four seasons in one day at times ........
The easiest thing is to bring layers & include something waterproof!!! Leave a Comment

The only thing that I can think of to pack for Dublin that you wouldn't necessarily pack for any other destination might be an umbrella. It rarely buckets here in Dublin but a frequent (constant) drizzle is not uncommon.
Actually I found a waterproof coat more convenient because sometimes it gets windy and then an umbrella is more of a hinderance than a help. Leave a Comment
