Internet Cafés

Even if you don't have your own computer at home you can access a computer at one of the Internet Cafés that are mushrooming around the City. I spoke to Finbarr Clarkson the managing director of two of Dublin's premier Internet Cafés.

One is located at 8 O'Connell St., about 100 metres from O'Connell Bridge:

It costs £5 an hour to use the Internet cafés and £4 for students. There is also a members only deal of £2.50 at certain off-peak hours. The programme has a limited number of discount vouchers available for listeners. To avail of one write to intothenet@ireland.com . Most e-mail today is web-based. The following sites are very popular:

If you have the more traditional POP e-mail accounts you can access your mail from any computer by using a website such as the following one:
