You might be interested in attending a World Vegetarian Day event which is being hosted by the Vegetarian Society of Ireland. They have details of the event up on their website.
Here is some information about the day:The Vegetarian Society of Ireland will be holding a celebration of World Vegetarian Day 2011 by hosting a fair on October the 2nd from 12pm-5pm, in St. Andrew’s Resource Centre, 114 Pearse Street, Dublin 2.

Ohhhh! There is a book list of items which one of the stall holders will be bringing and I am drooling reading the list!! Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World is one book that I've heard people mention loads on boards. I may just treat myself
Though, I think I'm going to be a sucker and buy a kids book - "Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon"
