TheBoysinGreen Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 If you're doing this I suggest, Dublin, Galway and Kerry as places to visit. You won't get secterian abuse, coins thrown at you or get called a gypsey like a lot of us did in Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingle point worth going out to. Cork's great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernscum Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I definitely fancy a few days touring the Republic. There is no way i am going over there just to sit about in a pub for the duration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully recommend going there and perhaps renting a car and driving the Wild Atlantic Way route down to Kerry. Killarney and Dingle would be the towns to go to in Kerry. It's then around a 4 hour train journey back to Dublin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself to Galway city mate. Best town in Ireland by a country mile. For me it's the real Ireland. 10 mins drive outside the city and you're in Connemara which has some unreal scenery and largely a Gaelic speaking region.

ParisInAKilt Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Definitely will be getting around the country. Embarrassingly I've not been to Ireland yet. Can always extend the trip as well at those prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be very handy tourism reps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishandproud Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I very much doubt that. Doubt that myself, first I have heard of it If you're doing this I suggest, Dublin, Galway and Kerry as places to visit. You won't get secterian abuse, coins thrown at you or get called a gypsey like a lot of us did in Glasgow. Seriously? Where? I saw no trouble anywhere and found the scots to be a great bunch of lads, I would go as far as to say the best group of fans I have ever experienced and that's not exaggerating at all.

Matter of opinion I suppose, I guess you are from there so a little biased. Kilkenny should be visited as should Westport, Killarney, Galway and many many more.

We were driving in that area when, and I'm not making this up, we saw a sign at the roadside with a huge arrow and the words "Drive-In Car Park".

TheBoysinGreen Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Howth and Malahide are towns about 30 mins on the DART (our coastal commuter service) from the city centre and are cracking spots to head out and stay. You'll go from being in a city to this in less than 30 mins. Great nightlife in both spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenforever Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If anyone has a group of 35/40 you could do a tour from Dublin taking in great spots like Carlow Kilkenny cork Galway athlone for about 50 a head for bus transfers and get hostels for about 15 a night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 We did some travelling around Ireland between the 2 Carling Cup games. Stayed in a cottage on the coast in County Clare for 4 nights and did loads of sightseeing stuff from Galway down to Lahinch. Then we stopped over in Burr on the way back to Dublin. Loved it and would definitely do something similar again if I had the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelk Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 A week is too long in Ireland. If you look at it logically, Ireland doesn't really have much to offer. Doesn't even have decent weather. What they do have though is a sublime tourist board marketing department that somehow manages to elevate the place to mythical status and a people who are so bought into it that they not only believe their own hype but they also actively try to convince other people. Sure, there are nice spots there but let's be honest, once you've seen one pretty Irish town, you've seen them all. And in each of those towns you'll get the same style of pub selling the same beer and the same food. And you'll go see the same church and maybe see a couple of old samish stones. It's a cracking place to go for a weekend but a week is too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
