Thousands of children in dinosaur outfits—dino t-shirts, hats, jackets or carrying dinosaur toys—went wild when they saw the dinosaurs of all forms, shapes and sizes, which were placed all over the property.

Children were fascinated to travel back in time to when dinosaurs roared, reigned and roamed the Earth and to learn about reptiles, the dinosaurs’ closest living relatives. The meet and greet with the spectacular T-Rex certainly made memories which will last longer than the Jurassic Period.

Games also took place at the newly renovated sports pitch which was inaugurated in the midst of the celebrations of the weekend.

“I brought my three children and my niece who were not able to sleep last night with excitement”, said one mother.

“This morning our three-year-old made me go back home as she remembered she had to wear her dinosaur pajamas. She knows the names of every dinosaur. And when they went for the fossil search she knew even the names of the bones of the dinosaurs”.

“My kids were so happy! They love the animals. They don’t want to leave”, said another.

One woman didn’t tell her boy they were coming until they arrived. “As we walked by the fence he saw the dinosaurs and screamed at me, ‘Mom, look! Dinosaurs!!’ He couldn’t believe it”.

The Church of Scientology and Community Centre in Firhouse was established in 2017 as a hub for local activities and events, in keeping with Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard’s intention that all Scientology organisations are to serve as a home for the entire community and a meeting ground for cooperative efforts. Working side by side with all denominations and other groups on civic and humanitarian initiatives to strengthen the community, the Church and Community Centre facilities—1,000-seat auditorium, meeting rooms, café and football pitch—are available to community groups and charitable organisations who share the goal of a peaceful and cooperative society. In 1956, L. Ron Hubbard lived in Dublin with offices in Merrion Square, where he launched humanitarian initiatives which continue to flourish throughout the world today. “If the weather is cold, the Irish heart is warm. The country and the people could not be improved upon”, he wrote.
