Editing Dublin Castle (section)

==Tourism and culture==
The complex of buildings is usually open to the public, except during certain state functions. The crypt of the [[Chapel Royal (Dublin Castle)|Chapel Royal]] is now used as an arts centre, and occasional concerts are held in the grounds of the Castle.

The castle complex also hosts the [[Chester Beatty Library]], in a purpose-constructed facility, with a café, the [[Garda Museum]], in the Treasury Building, and the Revenue Museum.

The former site of the "dark pool" on the Poddle was remodelled into a garden, with a water feature that commemorates fallen Gardaí, and a helipad.

Opposite the garden is a sculpture and plaque commemorating the volunteers of the [[2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Sculpture for Olympics volunteers unveiled |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/sculpture-for-olympics-volunteers-unveiled-1.398367 |access-date=2023-10-09 |newspaper=The Irish Times |language=en}}</ref>
