One of the benefits of the global economic difficulties (from the point of view of the visitor) is the reduction in hotel prices worldwide. Accommodation costs in Dublin have become quite competitive making it a more attractive destination than heretofore.
There is also a downward trend in restaurant prices and there is some evidence that eating out has become cheaper and there is some hope of further reductions if rent legislation is amended as expected. Rental costs have been quite high in Dublin and because of quirky legislation, competition has not been able to force rents down as would be expected.
Many restaurants are no offering special prices, early bird menus etc. in a n effort to ttract more customers.
Many good accommodation deals can be got on hotel booking websites including Dublin Overnight. If you check for your selected dates you will find many hotels in Dublin offering midweek specials, price reductions, 2 nights B&B plus evening meal and other offers.
