Actually that’s (and Trinity College in general) first on my list.
Definitely a point on the plus side 
Thanks.

Yes, in the same way that the ANC were terrorists, which is not to say that they weren’t terrorists, but that they were denied civil rights and political participation in their own home, tried peaceful resistance, and had that peaceful resistance brutally crushed by the government, before they became terrorists.

The Guiness storehouse is fine for a visit. You wont see the actual brewery though, not since the early '00’s. Price of entry gets you a ticket for a pint on the top floor which has a nice view of the city. You can often find some teetotalers who are willing to give up their tickets (free beer!).
I’d recommend taking the bus to St. James Gate. In the summer there’s usually a hop-on, hop-off bus tour running. Then you dont have to worry about driving.

(are you in town for Worldcon?)
The storehouse is one of the highest-rated tourist attractions in Europe. I’ve not done it in ages, but it’s really interesting and there are multiple bars inside. Plus you get the chance to pull your own pint.
If you do the storehouse there are a few other points of interest nearby that you’d be able to do in a day - the Jameson visitor centre in Smithfield Square, on the site of their original distillery, the Irish Museum of Modern Art in the Royal Hospital Kilmanham (most of the galleries are free to view, but there is often a travelling exhibition that you need to pay to see), and Kilmanham Gaol, which is a museum to the 1916 rising and War of Independence (and was restored by my great-grandfather, amongst others)
