I hope this is more useful on my trip to Ireland rather than now. Its limited information has me cross-referencing with my full-size DK Ireland book.

I used this for my St. Patty's trip March 2008 and it was quite useful, especially the maps segregated by area. You can geographically plan your outings and cross things off your list easily. The info provided is brief so I used the bigger DK Dublin book as a supplement but used the actual pocket size on my trip. I also read 2 other pocket guides and found this was the most useful because of the maps, which help when you get temporarily lost. I love it because it is TINY! and the map was extremely useful marked with train stops as well. I wish it had a bus route map too, but I got on fine with taxis since we were a group of five. Travel by taxi within 2 miles of the city is about 8-10 euros for us 5. Only negative, wish it had more daytrip info i.e. Blarney stone and how to get to those day trips. Otherwise, for Dublin alone I couldn't have survived the trip without this book because it really helps cover each area systematically, good when you're pressed for time.
