Meet at 5pm outside the H&M on College Green to board the bus with our costumed guides and stops at St. Audeons, Kilmainham Gaol, Glasnevin cemetery, and a toast at the purportedly haunted Gravediggers pub. Bus takes us back to College Green where we will head down the block to the Millstone Restaurant (purchase on your own).
