There's free travel with Dublin Bus on Route B which will have storytelling by Storytellers of Ireland; you can get on board the Spirit of the Docklands for a free literary Liffey cruise; and if you're walking by the Liffey and are passing Dublin's literary bridges- James Joyce, Sean O'Casey or Samuel Beckett- you can stop off to hear presentations of the writers' works at each bridge.
