Lonely Planet review

Founded in 1731, the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) was involved in the establishment of the National Museum, Library, Gallery and Botanic Gardens. The showground is used for various exhibitions throughout the year, but the main event is the Dublin Horse Show, which reflects the society's agricultural background. It takes place in the first week of August and includes a prestigious international showjumping contest among other events.
