If you’re looking to something to do while wandering around town today, you could do worse then head over to the Mansion House on Dawson Street.
There you’ll find The Lord Mayor’s Coach which has extra significance with today being Bloomsday. In James Joyce’s famous novel Ulysses, the vehicle is referred to as ‘The Gingerbread Coach’ and dates all the way back to 1791.
