Oscar Fingal O\'Flahertie Wills Wilde (October 16, 1854 %u2013 November 30, 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and short story writer. Known for his barbed wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. As the result of a famous trial, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of "gross indecency". The scholar H. Montgomery Hyde suggests this term implies homosexual acts not amounting to buggery in British legislation of the time

infomatique > BRONZE BULL 
This bronze bull (actually, I think that it is a cow) sits in a small public park just outside the Jervis Street Shopping Centre.

The Jervis Centre is an indoor mall chockablock full of high street fashion stores. Here you\'ll find: Champion Sports, Top Shop, Debenhams (department store), Marks & Spencer, Boots, and Mothercare. Other shops include Waterstones bookstore, the Art&Hobby Store for arty kid\'s toys, and an electronic gadget shop for the man who has everything!
infomatique > Molly Malone 
Extract from Irish Historical Mysteries: 
Picture the scene: it is Dublin city 300 years ago, on a balmy summer evening on 12 June 1699 to be precise. The city then was not as we know it now, and in place of spacious, straight thoroughfares there was a warren of narrow, winding streets, through which it would be difficult if not impossible to drive a motor car. We walk down one of these streets on that summer e\'en in 1699, when suddenly our attention is attracted by a small crowd gathered around a figure on the ground.

Moved by a mixture of curiosity and concern, we join the crowd to discover what is amiss. We see that the object of attention is a young woman, no longer of this world but with a strange look of peace on her ravaged features. She is dressed in a full-length, full-sleeved, lined chemise, an overshirt and basque of wool, and Spanish zapota shoes. Despite the pallor of death, we can see that she was a fine strong and attractive girl, with an especially well-developed bust.

\'Who is it?\', someone asks. \'Tis Molly Malone the fishmonger, and she is no more\', replies a young lad. \'God\'s judgment has come upon her\', adds a plump housewife, probably the lad\'s mother, \'for as well as her trade of fishmonger she was a part-time hussy also\'.
