Looking for something interesting to see indoors on a chilly winter Sunday afternoon? Why not check out the Chester Beatty Library which is open on Sundays from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. at its new home in Dublin Castle. If Sunday doesn't suit, the library is also open from Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m.

until 5 p.m. Apart from looking at the collections of oriental art, you could refresh yourself at the coffee shop or browse for unusual Christmas presents in the gift shop. For full details contact the children's workshop co-ordinator, Marisa Tome Valiente, at (01) 4070750.
