While I agree with the sentiments of Ted and others[1], isn't this
all rather a moot point?
I would expect Ray has already signed a locked-in contract with the
hotel/resort in Dublin, correct?
Is there realistically any chance to change it?
If the Dublin venue can NOT be changed at this point, should we
perhaps focus on how we can get to restaurants? Can we get more
shuttles? Is there taxi service available? etc.?
My 2 cents,
Dan
[1] Like Ted, I go to a standards meeting to engage in f-2-f
discussions. If there is any "sightseeing" it is usually in my walk
from my hotel to the conf center or perhaps at the social event. All
I really ask for is a decent hotel room, good meeting rooms, decent
snacks, hot tea, good WiFi and easy access to multiple restaurants so
that when 1,000+ standards geeks all break at the same time for lunch
or dinner we're not all standing in line at the same restaurant
trying to get served quickly so we can go back into our meetings.
IETF 70 in Vancouver and IETF66 in Montreal were both great examples
to me where there were plenty of choices within easy walking distance.

For me, I'll take business-class hotel like a Hilton or a Doubletree
any day.... and even better if it is adjacent to a mall with a food
court. When I go to an conference or a standards meeting, it's to get
work done, not to do fine dining or lounge at a resort setting. And
if I'm going to pay $$$ for an expensive restaurant, I want to get my
money's worth, which is rarely the case at most hotel restaurants.
