Free things to do in Dublin at the moment

Well, I mentioned before about the Point Village Market which takes place every Saturday and Sunday near the O2 (take the red LUAS to The Point). There are many other (free) things to do in Dublin at moment too. Some of these things take place all year around too.
Try Temple Bar Book Market, every Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 6pm on Temple Bar Square.
Or there is a Photography Festival taking place in various locations around the city from 1st – 11th July. Click on the link to download a programme.
