On the south side of Dublin's coast line is a beautiful little suburb called Sandycove. Its
here that James Joyce lived for a short time. The story goes that
Oliver St John Gogarty lived in this Martello Tower well before him and
that Joyce moved in with Gogarty after forking up the £8 annual rent for
the premises. However, after only six days and after a huge
disagreement with Gogarty, Joyce moved out. The morning after this row
was immortalized as the first chapter of Joyce’s masterpiece “Ulysses”.
If your in the area drop in, there is a beautiful little museum dedicated to the great writer and it is free of admission.
