Joyce festival to span several days
Bloomsday has been stretched to more than a week in Dublin this year.
June 16 has traditionally been the 24 hour period when James Joyce aficionados celebrate the hero of his epic novel Ulysses, Leopold Bloom, by dressing up in straw boaters and other clothing of the early years of the last century and touring those parts of Dublin made familiar by the book to act out scenes from the work.
