entertainment - no cover charge - Thursday (2 of 11)

We were waiting on the O'Connell bridge over the Liffey River in "City Center" when the entertainment for the week began. At that point the river is a dirty tidal stream 100 yds wide or so with concrete walls on each side. A fellow gets up on the bridge and jumps in!

All of sudden the Garda (National police force) and Dublin Fire show up and begin a simulation of a Chinese fire drill. After 5 or so minutes, a tour boat comes by with the fellow and someone in uniform looking over him. They docked at a nearby floating landing. The ambulance hauled him off.
