Here are a few lesser known things to do in Dublin:

The Dublin Literary Pub Crawl with two actors who introduce the writers,Joyce, Beckett, Behan, Mary Lavin, Oscar Wilde, Eavan Boland, Paula Meehan and perform scenes from their works.

You may want to do this twice as there are eight pubs on the route and only four visited on each tour.

Answer 3

Try doing a search on "dublin ireland tourism" for suggestions.  My husband always looks for things to do when we're going on vacation by doing a search.  If that doesn't help you get the info you need, you may have to wait till you get there and ask some of the locals.
