It depends on your audience. Spring and autumn tend to be the best times, as people are back in work mode but not tied up with summer holidays or Christmas plans. If you’re aiming for high foot traffic, check what else is happening in the city. Dublin is packed with festivals and events year-round, which can be great for exposure or a nightmare for competing schedules.
