New Year's Eve?

kevc2

8 PM is a bit of a strange time for the fireworks but I suppose it's to make it more family friendly.

I HATE New Year, but I will go to the local with DH, BIL and my sister. Last year, it was dire, until my sister took over from the DJ and things really started to rock! Ended up having a brilliant night. We have had the year from Hell this year, so hopefully NY will mark a fresh, happy and lucky start...

Have Dublin booked for meself and himself.... He's having notions of a mad night in temple bar.... I'm thinking bottles of champers (the 8.99 stuff that tastes like liquid sugar ) in hotel room and pizza..... Going to wait til all the drinking from Christmas catches up with him (about 10 mins after he wakes on St Stephans day) and suggest my idea.... Hate NYE at home, such a book fuss of a night, absolute pain. Anyone know of anything low key happening in city centre or even day time NYE let me know

Right, so New Years is always an anti-climax. I always have great plans, but never bother to do anything about them, and then end up in the local pub counting down the new year at about half one with some dodgy finger food and forlorn streamers. But this year will be different! Oh yes! Because AH is gonna tell me what to do! Huzza! Preferably somewhere that's not too obvious. And in Ireland. So have at it AH...

I'm working I work in a nightclub and luckily my boyfriend and his friends are going to come to the place I work in to ring in the New Year. Hopefully my boss will be feeling sound and will let us stay on for a few drinks when the place is closed

Oh god, New Years lock-in! Brings back some great memories

We're going to invite everyone to ours for a party! Lots of champagne, finger food and dancing and we don't have to worry about booking a taxi after

Does anybody know any of the details for the New Years Eve Fireworks display in Stephens Green, Dublin city centre?

I know it starts at College Green at 6.30 pm and theres a procession which I assume ends at Stephens Green where the Fireworks display is from this link-

But what time does the fireworks display start at and if its at 12 midnight what is there to do and see between 6.30pm and 12 midnight??

I only wonder because thinking about bringing my daughter in to see it but wonder could she end up bored waiting around?,.. she is 9 years old.

Thanks.

Hope this is of some use to anyone else going in ( with family/ kids).

I hate the new year. I'm always devastated that Christmas is really over.

This is who I see when ever I read these posts....

I hate that it's NYE right now. Purely coz that's it. Christmas is over and January is upon us. God I hate that month. Ill not do much tonight. I have wine and snacks and that's the height of it. I'm cooking on Tuesday so I need to be fresh for that

Love new years eve, best part of Christmas

Froyo

Zero interest.

After midnight, you realise it's just another night out except for some reason there's an anti climax and it's impossible to get a taxi home.

I'll be enjoying some quiet time this year with food that's detrimental to my already 'Christmas waist'!

The Cool

Change of plan: working hopefully only a half day and then going home to get my jammies, dose myself with stuff for this headcold, drink a bottle of wine so I don't feel like an absolute sap, and then pass out probably before midnight. At least I'm not working tomorrow.

Hope you all enjoyed whatever you did. Have a healthy and happy new year
