After lunch, we made our way over to the Liffey River, crossing over the Ha’penny Bridge. We walked along the river, keeping our eyes peeled for a particular hotel, The Clarence, which is owned by Bono and The Edge of U2, located in the Temple Bar area of Dublin. As we wandered along the river, we spotted the first of many establishments with the name McKenna.
