One mistake we made before going down to Sandycover - we forgot to ensure that the tower was going to be open that day. It was closed; while the weather is pretty friendly to tourists used to a northeast winter, February isn't considered tourist season so many sites are either closed or have reduced hours. So if you go to Dublin in the off-season, before you double-check to see when things are open.
