Bono grew up close to the Ballymun housing estate, where I’m from, and even mentioned it in one of his songs. Don’t know which but it has the lines: I see seven towers and no way out. The towers are mostly demolished now but you still might be interested.

Well you could try the Dandelion Market. Sher the world and his mother saw U2 or The Hype playing there and they all knew they were going to be huuuge.
You could try the Phoenix Park as well. It’s where Bono used to go on long walks with Gandhi as the Mahatma wrestled with hostilities in India. Sher if it wasn’t for Bono teaching Gandhi a thing or two there’d still be trouble there.
