June 15th marks two very important moments in Joyce’s life. In 1904 he messaged Nora to ask why she hadn’t shown for their date the previous day.

Then in 1914, Joyce’s first novel, ‘Dubliners’, was finally issued by Grant Richards Ltd. In London.

June 14th should have been the day Joyce and Nora had their first date. They had arranged to on Merrion Square. However Nora never showed up!

On June 15th, Nora agreed to meet instead on June 16th.

June 10th 1904 is remembered as the day James Joyce first met Nora Barnacle. The encounter happened on Nassau street in Dublin. Joyce was captivated and Nora thought he might be a Swedish sailor.

They agreed to meet on June 14th at the home of Sir William Wilde on Merrion Square.

People actually think this dodgy, cartoonish photo of James Joyce visiting the Joyce Tower and Museum over the weekend, could be fake! What’s the world coming to?

Some of our young visitors suggested a couple of names for our round room Panther yesterday - Blackstone or Licorice. What do you think?

If you’d like to suggest a name, come on down for a visit. We’re open today from 10am - 4pm. Just a 15 minute walk from Sandycove Dart station.

Also in Today in(en) Joyce, a true powerhouse of Irish politics passed away. Daniel O’Connell was born in 1775 and fought for Catholic emancipation all his life. His statue on O’Connell street is famously referred to in Episode 6 of Ulysses, “hugecloaked Liberator's form”.
