I was so pleasantly surprised by the lack of crowds; I'd expected to have to queue for each painting. There was only a handful of people waiting to get in at 9am. perhaps I was just lucky; I heard that it's much busier at weekends.

I would rather they reverted to more limited opening times and pulled up the blinds occasionally. Did you visit the Vermeer exhibition at the Fitzwilliam, about five years ago? It was an unbelievable crush and we had to queue for about two hours even on a midweek January day. Have never been to Ireland, this exhibition may persuade me.
