About this meeting
Dublin City Downtown Group runs a Big Book meeting on Monday lunchtimes at 1pm in Abbey Presbyterian Church on Parnell Square North, Dublin 1. The meeting is closed, meaning attendance is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than family members or the general public, and it focuses on reading and discussing Alcoholics Anonymous's core text. Its Parnell Square location puts it within easy reach of the city centre for anyone working nearby during a lunch break. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place in advance. Wheelchair access at Abbey Presbyterian Church has not been confirmed for this meeting, so anyone with mobility needs is encouraged to contact the group before their first visit.
