On Friday 13th March Ms Carmody brought our 6th year Economics class to visit and tour the Google offices at Barrow Street, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 4. Google has given the nickname “Google Docks” to this area. On arriving we were surprised to see that there are three large buildings all belonging to Google – one of them with 13 floors. The offices had a laid back atmosphere and they included a gym, a swimming pool, kitchens on each floor and many areas to relax while completing work. We saw one man bringing his dog to work. We were also able to test some of the Google products. We really enjoyed the trip and we would recommend the visit to anyone who gets a chance. Thanks to Ms Carmody for organising the trip.
