When you're on the road in Ireland (and indeed Europe in general) it is advisable to use ViaMichelin as your online mapping/route planning solution. The AA also has an excellent route planner that gives comprehensive directions.

Hi, I personally loved the road up the Wicklow Mountains.. only 30 minutes out of Dublin but a complete different world. A windy road takes you over to the mountains, you do pass the famous Johnnie Fox's Pub (highest pub in Ireland)..
If I remember correct (i was there in 2003), Once you…

If you happen to go to Dublin you can't miss Guiness factory and if you like literature you can go to the writer's house too.

Ireland has a lot in common with other European countries. I am fan of Europe because they have quality of life with enjoying life at the same time. Lot’s of vacation time, no 50 hour work weeks, etc. They also protect their old and their retired and they do not depend so much on cars, having rea…

The weather is good during the summer, but God help you if it's raining. Graiguenamanagh is definitely a cool drink by the river on a hot day kind of place. Indoors there isn't that much to do... even with 16 pubs in the town... so unless you like walking or fishing in the rain, choose your time car…

Parking is tough here. At this time much of the central area costs about 3Euro for two hours which is the maximum on-street parking. Off-street parking costs more. I spent 18Euro to park overnight. I haven't seen anywhere around that doesn't cost to park so be ready for t…

Hopefully you will absorb Dublin on foot...and if you do I heartily recommend hoofing to St. Stephen's Green (at the top of Grafton Street) with a packed lunch. Although dimunitive compared to NYC's Central Park, this is an expansive green area nestled right in downtown Dublin and a popular lunch s…

We got a great deal on Ryanair and then said "what will we do" and luckily it worked out (especially as we had two sunny days!). We picked a hotel in Ennis (because everything closer to the airport was booked) and that was a good move. The hotel was cute, the pub was lively and we even saw a bit o…

One thing I loved about Dublin is that you could walk to every great sight seeing opportunity. But, if you are not up for a short walk here and there you can hop on the LUAS. The LUAS is the light rail that runs from Houston(Heuston?)Station to Connoly Station. If you want to go to the coast, you…

Plastic bags are not free in shops in the Republic of Ireland. A government levy of 22c has to be paid for each bag. Use a cloth bag - more environmentally friendly, too! ;)
Smoking in any workplace, including cafés, bars, clubs and restaurants is illegal in the Republic of Ireland. You have to …

Just back from over rated Dublin. One word to sum it up " pit"Streets are filthy, locals are rude and un helpful. In fact the only nice people there were the many immigrants working in pubs, hotels and shops. There is a strong nasty edge to the place. Travelled with an Ameri…

Well, this airline needs no introduction if you live in Euroland. The airline with the cheapest tickets and deals (if you book ahead) but a lot of people don't know is that it has the newest fleet of Boeing going in Europe, and more aircraft is on order. They also have the best on-time record and do…

If you are planning on hitch-hiking from Leenane (or any point further south like Clifden or Maam Cross) to Louisburgh or Roonagh (to get the ferry to Clare Island), try to get to Westport first (N59, north), and then a lift west on the R335 to Louisburgh/Roonagh. The alternative, which is technical…
