The street University at Dame Street is one of the high points of the Occupation in Dublin. It is organised by Helena Sheehan and others. There will be a new schedule in the New Year. It involves a series of short talks given in the Plaza at the Central Bank. Those inside the bank would do well to attend, it might raise the general grasp of economics therein.

This was the 2011 schedule. I'll put up the 2012 events when I get them.
