I see some incorrect information on the Dublin wikipedia page. In the Middle ages section it says Dublin was established as a viking settlement in "10th century". This is totally incorrect!!! Dublin was established as a viking sttlement in 841, which was the 9th century. Also the decision to choose 1988 for the Dublin millenium celebration was a totally artitrary decision by the city manager. It was based on Malachy, the high king, taking control of the city from the vikings in 989 after a twenty year siege. To reiterate, the viking settlement of Dublin dates from 841!
