Update, June 1, 2005 List of Irish Pubs
4 Dame Lane 4 Dame Lane tel 01/679 0291.
Announced by burning braziers just along the lane from the Stag's Head, this
airy, minimalist bar/club probably has the stylistic edge over its bare
brickwork and wood rivals. There're good tunes, anything from hip-hop and
jazz to chilled ragamuffin, and a dance floor upstairs. Daily until 2.30am,
admission charge after 11pm.
The Chocolate Bar Old Harcourt Street
Train Station, Harcourt St. Nestling in the armpit of one of Dublin's most
stylish nightclubs, POD, this Gaudí-inspired watering-hole is where young
hip Dubliners congregate to swig alcopops and imported bottled beers.
Davy Byrne's 21 Duke St, off Grafton St.
Davy Byrne's "moral pub" receives a particularly honourable mention in
Joyce's epic novel as the place where Leopold Bloom takes a break from his
famous perambulation across Dublin for a Gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of
Burgundy. Over the years it's been extensively redecorated as a lounge bar
in a mix of Art Deco and other vaguely Modernist styles, but it's still a
good place for a quiet drink and perhaps a plate of seafood.
Doheny and Nesbitt 5 Baggot St Lower.
Archetypal Dublin pub – the tiny, atmospheric, smoke-filled front room looks
as if it has hardly changed for a hundred years. Always packed, but there
are cosy snugs at the back, and at weekends, a slightly less hectic lounge
open upstairs.
The Globe 11 South Great George's St.
Outrageously popular with the sassy and fashion-conscious twenty-somethings
of Dublin, this loud and lively bar is invariably packed at weekends, and
busy every night. It's pleasantly wood-panelled and discreetly lit, which
makes it the perfect chill-out room for Rí-Rá.
Grogan's 15 William St South. Smoky,
eccentric haunt of literary types down through the years, where conversation
dominates. Good drinks at relatively reasonable prices; head here if you
like your beer without the frills.
The International Bar 23 Wicklow St.
Another great drinking establishment that has changed little over the
decades. Upstairs hosts comedy, music and theatre in a small, informal
venue.
Kehoe's 9 South Anne St, off Grafton St.
Until a few years ago the family whose name adorns this wonderful old
establishment lived upstairs, reputedly the last resident publicans in the
city centre. To the collective relief of Dublin's more discerning drinkers,
the new owners have scarcely touched the mahogany interiors, and there are
few happier places to be than in the innermost seat of the tiny snug, with a
pint settling on the table in front of you.
The Long Hall 51 South Great George's St.
Dark and wonderfully ornate Victorian pub, with friendly staff and a good
pint of Guinness.
McDaid's 3 Harry St, off Grafton St. A
literary pub, this is where Brendan Behan used to drown his talent in
Guinness. It remains more or less intact, and despite now selling its own
T-shirts, it's still popular with locals, with overspill seating upstairs
for when the crush gets too mighty.
Messrs Maguire 1–2 Burgh Quay.
Microbrewery pub that's not quite as classy as The Porter House, but well
worth trying out. Centrally located overlooking the river, with numerous
floors and mezzanines off a grand, winding staircase. Mon, Tues & Sun until
12.30am, Wed–Sat until 2.30am.
Modern Green Bar 31 Wexford St. Handy for
Mono, this lively, friendly student bar does exactly what it says on the
tin, with a splash of primary red paint thrown in. Bright, simple booths and
good DJs most nights of the week.
Mulligan's 8 Poolbeg St. Mulligan's
traditionally served the best Guinness in Dublin; many people now
acknowledge that honour to have passed to the Guinness Storehouse, but this
place still has its partisans.
O'Neill's 2 Suffolk St. This rambling pub
with plenty of quiet corners has been a home from home for generations of
students and lecturers from nearby Trinity College. Also much favoured as a
lunching spot by office workers, who come for the sandwiches and healthy
portions of buffet food.
SoSuMe 64 South Great George's St.
Generations of tellers who worked in this lofty former bank are no doubt
turning in their graves at its oriental-themed reincarnation, whose punning
name belongs firmly to the Celtic Tiger. But it's a lively enough spot, and
the theme, with its Buddhas, dragons and botanical prints, is attractive but
not too in-your-face. Wed–Sat until 2.30am, Sun until 1am.
Stag's Head 1 Dame Court, a tiny turning
off Dame Street almost opposite the Central Bank. Hard to find – a mosaic
set in the pavement on Dame Street alerts you to the tiny alleyway it's
located in – but worth it when you get there: inside it's all mahogany,
stained glass and mirrors. Good pub lunches, too, and a friendly atmosphere. Toners 139 Baggot St Lower. Dark, cosy pub with a refreshingly plain interior. Snugs, with glazed partitions, for making and breaking confidences.

Husserl Circle, University College Dublin 9-12 June 2005
Dear Colleagues:
Included with this mailing you will find a draft of this year’s program. The cut-off date for booking the Jurys Montrose Hotel in Dublin at the special conference rate has now been extended to May 7th 2005. Also, a reminder that Jury’s Montrose hotel has set up an booking form that can be downloaded from the UCD Philosophy Department website or from the following link: http://www.ucd.ie/philosop/documents/UCD%20Husserl%20Circle%20%20Booking%20Form[1].htm The hotel has indicated a preference for people sending the form by fax/airmail letter, but inquiries may be sent directly to Mary Meehan (mary_Meehan@jurysdoyle.com). Hotel bookings need to be made by 7 May 2005 in order to avail of these rates. Currently, the hotel is holding 40 rooms at that rate for Husserl Circle members. The Jurys Montrose hotel is directly opposite the main entrance of the campus and from the hotel it is a relaxed 10 minute walk to the Humanities Institute building where the meetings will take place. I am attaching a map of the campus. The Aircoach bus from the airport goes directly to the Montrose Hotel (specify the ‘Sandyford’ coach — but the driver will ask you where you want to go), every 15 minutes. Please note that Monday 6th June is a public holiday (‘The June Bank Holiday’) and banks and public offices are closed on that day. I look forward to seeing you in Dublin in June 2005.
Sincerely, Dermot Moran Convenor

Husserl Circle, University College Dublin 9-12 June 2005
February 16, 2005
Dear Members and Friends of the Husserl Circle,
The 35th Annual Meeting of the Husserl Circle will take place in University College Dublin from Thursday, 9th June through Sunday, 12th June 2005. This is a reminder that the deadline for submissions is March 15, 2005. Papers should have a reading time of no more than 30 minutes. Please send the complete paper (or a substantial abstract) directly to me at Dermot.moran@ucd.ie (by e‑mail attachment, airmail, or fax) so that it is received by the deadline. Decisions will be announced by 15 April 2005.
I would also appreciate if those planning to attend the conference would indicate to me their willingness to serve as respondents or moderators.
At this time, I want to give more information about travel and accommodation.
Accommodation The nearest hotel to the UCD Belfield campus is the Jury’s Montrose Hotel (http://www.jurys.com/ireland/doyle_montrose.htm), a comfortable three-star hotel directly opposite the main gate of the campus. I recommend the Montrose Hotel to conference delegates as most convenient and very good value. Dublin is an expensive destination, currently one of the most expensive capital cities in Europe.
The Montrose Hotel conference rates are as follows: standard single room € 94.00 euro standard twin room €104.00 euro standard double room €104.00 euro Executive supplement (for a larger room) € 20.00 euro These rates are per room per night inclusive of full Irish breakfast, service charge (15%) and Value Added Tax (VAT) at 12.5%. The Jury’s Montrose hotel has set up an booking form that can be downloaded from the UCD Philosophy Department website or from the following link: http://www.ucd.ie/philosop/documents/UCD%20Husserl%20Circle%20%20Booking%20Form[1].htm The hotel has indicated a preference for people sending the form by fax/airmail letter, but inquiries may be sent directly to Mary Meehan (mary_Meehan@jurysdoyle.com). Hotel bookings need to be made by 8 April 2005 in order to avail of these rates.
Room Sharing The hotel has indicated that it can arrange for two guests who are willing to share a twin room. Those wishing to share should indicate that on their forms, but it would be preferable to arrange in advance with someone you know and simply put both names down on the booking form. I cannot be responsible for ‘matching’ people (the hotel will charge the single room rate if a ‘twin’ is occupied solely by one person). Please send any queries to Mary Meehan (mary_Meehan@jurysdoyle.com) at the hotel in the first instance. The hotel can make special provision for larger groups (e.g. couples traveling with children, etc).
I strongly recommend that conference participants use the Jury’s Montrose hotel. These rates represent good value as a cursory internet perusal of hotel rates in Dublin will show.
Other Hotels Dublin is a capital city with many hotels (including major chains –Westin, Radisson, Conrad, Four Seasons), distinguished hotels (The Shelbourne, Berkeley Court, Westbury), posh boutique hotels (The Clarence, The Fitzwilliam, The Morrison, Longfields, The Schoolhouse) and reasonably priced conveniently located hotels (Jury’s Christchurch Inn, Jury’s Inn Customhouse). If you wish to stay in the city centre you would be advised to stay in one of those hotels.
UCD Village Apartments I have also reserved a number of single rooms (organized in 4-bedroom self-catering apartments with shared bathroom) in the UCD Village, modern dorm style accommodation on campus for approximately €36 euro a night per person. This represents budget accommodation but is adequate. The main drawback is that these residences are located in the middle of the campus, and although served by a small supermarket/convenience store, have very limited facilities. Breakfast is available on the campus Monday to Friday in the Main Restaurant but not at the weekends. More details are available on the UCD website.
Bed & Breakfasts There are also a number of B&Bs in the area of the university, costing approximately 60 euro per person per night. I have put a list of convenient B&Bs on the UCD conference website.
Flights The Irish national airline is Aer Lingus (www.aerlingus.com), which has an arrangement with American Airlines, but a number of US carriers fly directly into Dublin including Delta, US Air and Continental.
Getting to the Campus The campus of University College Dublin (http://www.ucd.ie/) is located in Belfield, a south Dublin suburb about 3 miles from Dublin city centre (O’Connell St. is usually regarded as the centre). The cheapest and most convenient way to get to UCD from Dublin Airport (which is on the northside of Dublin) is to take the Aircoach bus (http://www.aircoach.ie/), which departs from Dublin Airport (Sandyford route) every 15 minutes and which stops directly in front of the UCD campus beside the Jury’s Montrose Hotel. The fare is currently €7.00 euro single (€12.00 return) and the journey takes about 40 minutes.
Taxis are metered and are more expensive (approx. €30-40 euro, depending on traffic).
Dublin Bus (http://www.dublinbus.ie/home/) runs a number of buses from Dublin Airport to the city centre (including the 746 which serves UCD Belfield Campus). The numbers 46A and 10 buses run regularly from the centre of town to the campus. Passengers need exact change (average fare is €1.50 each way from City Centre to UCD Belfield campus).
For those wishing to hire a car, it is often cheaper to do this on the web from outside Ireland. All the usual companies operate (Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, etc). There is free car parking on the UCD campus and at the Montrose Hotel.
Tourism, Sight-Seeing, Entertainment Dublin is a vibrant city. In recent years it has become very cosmopolitan and European with lots of fancy restaurants, bars and cafes. A helpful site for information on restaurants, events, etc., is http://www.indublin.ie/. I find the Timeout guides helpful, see www.timeout.com/travel/dublin.
Eurozone Ireland is in the euro zone. Up-to-date exchange rates for the euro/dollar/etc. can be found on http://www.x-rates.com/.
For further information on any aspect of the conference, please contact the Philosophy Dept Executive Assistant, Ms. Margaret Brady (Margaret.brady@ucd.ie), tel. +353-1-7168267. I look forward to seeing you in Dublin in June 2005.

Letter of the Secretary, September 2003
September 8, 2004
Dear Colleague,
The 34rd annual meeting of the Husserl Circle at Georgetown University this past June in Washington DC was an immense success. Special thanks are in order to Convenor John Brough, who did a superb job of assembling a first-rate program and attending to the every need of the 41 members and friends of the Circle in attendance. The level of presentation and discussion was once again very high. Four European colleagues participated in the Husserl Circle for the first-time: Joanna Hodge (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK) Juha Himanka (University of Helsinki, Finland), Henning Peucker (Cologne, Germany) and Gary Banham (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK). All the above named were duly elected into the Circle at the Business meeting. In addition, the following were also welcomed into the Circle as new members: Daniel Dwyer, Xavier University Richard Khuri, Independent Scholar Heath Massey, University of Memphis John McCarthy, The Catholic University of America Matthew Morgan, Duquesne University Abraham Stone, University of Chicago The members in attendance voted to accept Christian Lotz’s invitation to host the 2006 meeting of the Circle at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. The 2005 meeting of the Circle will take place at University College, Dublin, Ireland, June 9-12. A letter from the Convenor, Dermot Moran, is enclosed. Information about the meeting will periodically be updated on the Circle’s web site (www.husserlcircle.org). The following items were discussed and approved at the Annual Business Meeting by the members in attendance: Adding the PayPal online credit card payment system (which is a secure and convenient option for annual dues payment) to the Husserl Circle web page. (The system has been added and is currently operative.) Implementing the following policy, effective immediately: Members must be current with their dues in the two years prior to the year of the annual meeting to be eligible to be on the program; e.g., for 2005 dues would have be current from 2003-05. With best wishes, Burt Hopkins Secretary

Dear Members and Friends of the Husserl Circle, I am pleased to announce that 35th Annual Meeting of the Husserl Circle will take place in University College Dublin from Thursday, 9th June through Sunday, 12th June 2005. Should you wish to participate in the meeting by delivering a paper, the deadline for submissions is March 15, 2005. Papers should have a reading time of no more than 30 minutes. Anyone wishing to submit a paper should send it (or a substantial abstract) directly to me (either by e‑mail attachment, airmail or fax) so that it is received by the deadline. Happily, the number of submitted papers has been growing with each meeting, but that also means that decisions may have to be made about which papers to include. Decisions will be announced by mid-April 2005. The campus of University College Dublin (http://www.ucd.ie/) is located in Belfield, a south Dublin suburb about 3 miles from Dublin city centre. The cheapest and most convenient way to get to UCD from Dublin Airport (which is on the northside of Dublin) is to take the Aircoach bus (http://www.aircoach.ie/), which departs from Dublin Airport (Sandyford route) every 15 minutes and which stops directly in front of the UCD campus beside the Jury’s Montrose Hotel. The fare is currently 6 euro single and the journey takes about 40 minutes. Taxis are more expensive (approx. 30-40 euro) but faster. Dublin Bus runs a number of buses from Dublin Airport to the city centre. For those wishing to hire a car, it is often cheaper to do this on the web from outside Ireland. There is free car parking on campus for those arriving by car. As a European capital city, Dublin can be quite expensive (for more information, visit the Dublin Tourism website: http://www.visitdublin.com/). There is a range of hotels, guesthouses, and bed & breakfasts at all levels. Visitors who want to see the sights may want to opt for a city-centre hotel. I have reserved a number of rooms in the Jury’s Montrose Hotel (http://www.jurys.com/ireland/doyle_montrose.htm), a comfortable three star hotel directly opposite the main gate of the campus. The conference rate currently is approximately 100 euro per room per night (including full Irish breakfast, service charge of 15% and VAT tax, currently at 13.5%). I have also reserved a number of single rooms (organized in 4-bedroom self-catering apartments with shared bathroom) in the UCD Village, modern dorm style accommodation on campus for approximately 40 euro a night. This represents budget accommodation but is adequate. There are also a number of B&Bs in the area of the university, costing approximately 60 euro per person per night. Details of the exact rates and availability will be posted on the Husserl Circle website (http://www.husserlcircle.org/) by the end of February. Up-to-date exchange rates for the euro/dollar/etc. can be found on http://www.x-rates.com/. For further information on the conference or if you wish to reserve a room in the UCD Village, please contact the Philosophy Dept Executive Assistant, Ms. Margaret Brady (Margaret.brady@ucd.ie), tel. +353-1-7168267.
