It’s almost tradition at this stage that I go to Taste of Dublin, sample some of the finest food and drink that Dublin has to offer and have one of the best weekends of the summer.

The weather may not be as good as in previous years but that won’t dampen the spirits of foodies. For a great day out, this is one of Dublin’s best events that you don’t want to miss.
