CityJet destination guide Dublin.

What's happening - September / October in Dublin  The Guinness All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final, played at Croke Park, Dublin, on 5th September, is the biggest hurling game of the year. Hurling is not only the oldest game in Ireland, but also one of the oldest in the world. Its roots can be traced back to pre-Christian times, when it featured in Irish folklore to illustrate the deeds of legendary heroes. Played with sticks called hurleys and a ball called a sliotar, it is thought to be the wolrd's fastest field team sport in terms of game play. www.gaa.ie

RESTAURANTS

With Friends
FRENCH PARADOX
53 SHELBOURNE ROAD, BALLSBRIDGE
TEL. 01 660 4068

A welcome counterbalance to the city's more formal French establishments, the Paradox never fails to impress with its robust Gascon fare and extensive range of regional wines. The assiette le fond de Barrique selection of cured meats, pate and cheese tops the recommended list. 

Entertaining a Client
NICO'S
53 DAME STREET
TEL. 01 677 3062

Candles, sumptuous food and Tony Bennett crooning away in the background-you can't go wrong with this much-loved southern Italian eatery, which also boasts a maitre d' who's the spitting image of Tony Soprano. The ravioli doppio burro and zabaglione al marsala, in particular, are sensational.

Closing The Deal
THORNTON'S
128 ST STEPHEN'S GREEN
TEL. 01 478 7008

Deserving of two Michelin stars, chef Kevin Thornton's signature dishes include wild sea bass with shrimps and coral sauce and suckling pig with its own trotter. The service and decor are just as spectacular, with a picture window letting you watch the wizardry going on in the kitchen. Sample the dishes in miniature at the canape bar.

Business
THE CLARION
EXCISE WALK, IRISH FINANCIAL SERVICES CENTRE
TEL. 01 433 8800

Bespoke

LOWER ORMOND QUAY

Designed by Dublin resident John Rocha, The Morrison strikes a balance between style and homeliness with comfy sofas to go with the architectural twists.

It has seven meeting rooms ranging from the Boardroom, which seats up to nine people, to the 100-capacity Printworks Theatre. There's free Wi-fiaccess, and the penthouse with river view has a separate dining area.

KNOWLEDGE

Cinema-going in the capital has become a whole lot more stylish thanks to the opening of the Light House at Smithfield Market (www. lighthousecinema.ie). This four-screen boutique multiplex specialises in independent and foreign language films. What was it that landed Oscar Wilde in Reading Gaol? Did James Joyce really drink in that many pubs? The answer to these and other literary questions can be found at the lovingly curated Dublin Writers Museum (www.writersmuseum.com) where the city's literary celebrities from the past 300 years are brought to life through their books, letters and personal items. Ireland's hottest new designers have taken up residence in The Loft, a New York-style indoor market (www.myspace.com/theloftmarket), which offers great value in clothes, footwear and accessories. It's open on Fridays and Sundays from 12pm-6pm and Saturdays from 11am-6pm.

SECRETS

Having cut their teeth there in the 1990s, top Irish funny men such as Dara O'Briain, Ed Byrne and Ardal O'Hanlon still pay unannounced Wednesday night visits to The Comedy Cellar at the International Bar in Wicklow Street to try out new material (www.myspace.com/thecomedycellar). The venue can only squeeze 80 people in, so you'll need to arrive early.
