There is a hackerspace in the center of Dublin (http://www.tog.ie/) we
might be able to get hosted there. At least one of the "guys in blue"
from Akademy 2006 in Dublin is a member there.

As to dates I propose Thurday 18/11 until Sunday 21/11. Short but
intense. I'm sure most people will want to head home after a whole
week of conference + sprint.

Hotel wise I don't think this will be a problem. Likely the hotels in
Dublin are even cheaper then Berlin. Don't know about hostels. But
normally the longer you stay in a hotel the cheaper it is per day.
