Cache information:
NOTE: Don't fret if your GPS doesn't give you pin point accuracy as this is a centre city cache where there are many obstructions that will interfere. I have provided plenty of information here to help.
As you will be very close to some of Dublin's most heavily visited tourist attractions, numbers of people will be another difficulty so be prepared for strange looks etc. The actual cache is small and black and there is a magnet involved. You will have to be "extremely" careful, even sneaky, when retrieving it and please be equally careful when replacing it. The hint below may be necessary in some cases.
You will need your own pen and please write as small as possible.
Things to find:
AA:
At the above co-ordinates will have you very close to a black and yellow "H" (see details below about the House of Lords, well worth a visit!). On a pavement shore you will find "IS 2?? Grade B". Then add 5 to these. Call these 2 digits AA
B:
In the College grounds across the road at coordinates N53 20.667 W006 15.468 you will find information in brass in the cobbles.
W?8. Then Subtract 1 from the answer, call this B
CC = 96
(NB as this clue has been temporarily removed I have to tell you the last 2 digits, the final coordinates is not exactly where the cache is, you need the hint)
Final Co-ordinates:
N53 20 A0A W006 15 BCC. (When you get close you will know)
The University of Dublin, Trinity College
Visitor Attractions
The University of Dublin, founded in 1592, is the oldest university in Ireland. Trinity College is the sole constituent college of the University. At present there are over 12,000 students and 1,200 staff members working on the College campus.
Standing on a self-contained site in the heart of Dublin, the College covers some 40 acres of cobbled squares and green spaces, around buildings which represent the accumulated architectural riches of nearly three centuries. Its thirteen and a half thousand staff and students form a compact academic community and are at the same time an intimate part of the city's life. Dublin offers a particularly congenial atmosphere for students and while small by international standards, it has in all respects the resources of a capital city with a full and varied cultural and intellectual life.
Trinity College is one of Irelands leading historical sites attracting in excess of half a million visitors every year. Heritage attractions available to visitors include
The Book of Kells
The Book of Kells is a 9th Century manuscript of the Gospels, renowned world-wide for its rich and varied illustrations. It is on display in the Old Library in Trinity College. The current exhibition in the Colonnades, 'The Book of Kells. Picturing the Word' places this national treasure in its historical and cultural context. The Old Library is open 7 days a week.

The House of Lords, Old Irish Parliament Buildings, Bank of Ireland, College Green, Dublin 2
Designed by Edward Lovet Pearce, the Old Parliament House dates from 1729. The House of Lords, a barrel-vaulted rectangle with subsidiary vaulted square at one end and a semi-domed apse at the other. The chamber has survived in the proportions and general aspect which Pearse gave it. The most notable decoration of House of Lords is provided by two tapestries by Johann van der Hagen dating from 1733. These represent The Battle of the Boyne and the Siege of Derry respectively. The original oak and Italian marble mantelpiece still occupies its place in the left wall. The great chandelier made up of 1233 separate pieces of glass dates from 1788. The Parliament House was the Head Office of the Bank of Ireland until 1972.
It is rumoured that there are underground passageways going from this building to other major sites in the city centre like Dublin Castle, the GPO and the Four Courts. It is even possible that these were used by 1916 freedom fighters during the rising.
Guided tours of House of Lords every Tuesday. (except Bank Holidays)
