The trains don't reach as far as Donegal, but if you manage to make it this
far, I'll take you to my local, a genuine Donegal farmers' pub for a
pint. You'll find it quite an experience. The pub that is, I'm married :-((

This is a very nice offer. :) Does she have an email address, because snail
mail would probably take too long, I'm afraid to say.

See above-I suppose a knocking shop is...well, a place I wouldn't want to

Well...ok. Never seen a fjiord before. :)

Well, it was a romantic notion of mine. Are you saying the seas are rough?

So, getting there early would be the key (or at least a wise move)?

No one drives Fjiords in Ireland anymore. It's all Opels and Japanese cars
now. I think Johnson's Motor Car was a Fjiord, though.

Oh, I would truly love to do that, but I will only be in Ireland for 3
days-long enough for a bit of Dublin and a quick structured train tour of
the west. I miss it already and I haven't even gotten there yet. Please keep
that invitation open. I'm sure I'll be back soon. It really sounds like my
cup of tea. The next time around, I will be staying off the beaten path.

What a nice jesture. Make sure you wear plenty of holes in it by the time I
get back, so I can tell all the Merkans, that they were put there by a real
Irish person. :)
Gosh, I should have planned to stay longer. :(

Doing some research-whatta ya think of:
Castle Hotel
Leeson Court
Georgian House
Kelly Hotel
Waltons
Now, they all look quite nice on the Internet, but what doesn't. Can anyone
let me know, if they are clean and respectable establishments? Also, I do
not want to be too far from Heuston Station. And, what dya think of a
Railroad tour to The Ring of Kerry. Looks good to me. Now, if I only have
time for one rail trip west, can I have some suggestions as too which would
the most rewarding. Looking for good seafood, scenery and a fisherman's
sweater. That may be all of Ireland. I don't know yet. :)

No idea; no use asking any natives as I never stay in a hotel in Dublin.
I could give you my mother's address if you want to try that. Describe
where any of them are (give the address) and some natives might know the
area; know if it is a knocking shop or not etc.

Most of the city is a 20-25 minute walk from Heuston or a short taxi
journey (but not in rush hour traffic). If you describe any of the
addresses of the above we can advise.
> Railroad tour to The Ring of Kerry. Looks good to me. Now, if I only
It means a 4 hour train journey each way. The trains are ok (not
especially luxurious; crap compared to French or German trains) but a
bit boring; the journey is not very exciting. Then it, presumably means
sitting in a bus for 3 hours as you drive around. The scenery is
fabulous but you might be better of trying to do it yourself (hire a
car).

Galway!!
It is a 3 hour (or less) train journey from Heuston, has loads of nice
pubs and seafood and you can go from there to Clare or Connemara quite
easily (again, better if you hire a car). Clare and Connemara have
lovely scenery (as does Mayo, further North). Donegal (Ger's county) is
nice but further away and no easy train. Kerry is possibly the nicest
western county but others will argue. Cork city is great for sweaty,
smoky pubs but the nice scenery is 1-2 hours drive west of here).

I was going to suggest one of the Parkgate St. hotels - very handy for
Heuston Station - but they either are knocking shops, or they have a
lot of ladies waiting for taxis outside.

If you book on the cat and it isn't running then they will put you on
the other ferry (if there is room).

3 Days? 3 Days? Sweet Mother of the Divine Joseph's Kidney's but that's
a true tragedy. You can't just visit Ireland for 3 days, it's obscene.
Or unseen maybe. I don't know, but it's the curse of the modern world
isn't it, no-one seems to want to take their time doing anything. Like
those bastards that keep shouting at me while I count out my pennies one
by one when buying the train ticket a minute before it is due to leave.
What's the rush? What's the panic? They'll die of stress. Visiting
Ireland for three days is like Sandra Bullock coming up to you saying
"Take me now!" and then taking her back to your place to give her a good
hot and sweaty peck on the cheek. I haven't been this disillusioned
since they changed Captain Birdseye.

Close to city centre but, again, depends on exact location. There was a

Ehhhh, you will be a while looking for one in Galway I think (unless
Galway Bay is technically a fjord; it does not look like one (no Blue
Parrots or Cliffs etc.).
Fr. Des
This is true Holly; what young Bren is trying to tell you is that you
will spend most of your 3 days sitting on a bus or train or boat. In
October the weather is dull and gloomy and it gets dark at 6.00pm every
evening. You will not see much. If you go to Galway, you will just
have time to get a burger in MacDonalds and a walk through the shopping
mall before you have to go back to Dublin again. If you go to Kerry you
will have even less time.

Isn't it the saddest thing you have ever heard in your whole life? It will
be a teaser tour of Ireland, Wales, England and France-in 7 full days. I'm
working on an impulse and that proud of myself, I must say. A little of
Dublin and then a trip to answer the ancestral voices calling me to the
west. Then off for the rest. God willin, I'll be doing it right, the next
time. :)

I will see some of Ireland from the train (plus motorcoach tour). I'm

Indeed it is; my what a clever little cabbage you are (sorry I am trying
to translate from the French here) but that is half in Mayo. Ok, this
is semantic but it is very important if you are from Mayo. I thought
she meant the city. She only has 3 days to spend in total and I would

can you fly to Shannon (easier to find flights; bigger airport) or
Galway from London? You could then just catch a bus from either place
and see plenty of nice things straight off. Galway is by FAR the nicer
of the two places to stay (Ennis is near Shannon airport and is not bad;
it is just a rural Irish town but Galway is a buzzing hive of activity

Ahhhhh; yes very impressive; it is 2 hours away by bus from Galway city
(Leenane is the bus stop I think). It is half in Mayo and half Galway.

You will see sweet Fanny Addams of Ireland from the train. The train's
windows are too dirty, and in any case, the most spectacularly scenic
parts are at the periphery of the island, not the centre (apologies to
all the land-locked paddies with sensitive souls here).

Telephone: +353 1 679 6500 Fax: +353 1 679 6504

Ok, here's the deal-the train tour includes:
Dublin to Galway
Bus tour of Connemara stuff (mountains, lakes etc)
Maam Valley, Leeane, Killary Harbour
Kylemore Abbey
Night in Station House Hotel in Clifden
Recess (?) to Maam Cross (remember that from the Quiet Man)
Connemara & The Gaeltach (?)
Galway back to Dublin
Not necessarily in that order.
Everyone sayes take a bus, but I want to take a train. It all sounds pretty
good to me. It will be my first morning in Ireland, so I'll probably sleep
on the train and miss the excitement of the peat bogs. :)

The Harding was booked up. But, through a little info from Fr. Des and PQ
mentioning how beautiful Stephens Green is, I found a spot near there.

I already have the ticket, so I'll leave things as they are. Next time, I

The train is faster and more comfortable but the bogs will not look
much different to the rest of the countryside except there are no
fences and you see more Heather if you look closely (might be over by
October).

You know Father, you have been spending far too much time with young
Holly there. I didn't want to have to mention this to you...but, there
has been some talk around the parish of late. You understand, I am only
telling you this as a friend and to get the story from you before I go
to the Sunday World looking for a cheque. Also, since this started I
have noticed that the collections have been down. We need to get the
steeple roof repaired before winter begins. For the love of God father
don't throw it all away on a woman of dubious reputation - I implore
you! The church can't afford to lose yet another preist to normal human
relationships.

Everyone experiences a mid-life crisis or two, Lilly. Give the good
fadder some room. After Holly's recipes give him a 52 inch waist, he'll
come around. So relax, as I didn't see Cork town on her Ireland trip
itinerary.

However, I would want to think twice about risking my immortal soul, right
before crossing the Irish Sea on Friday the 13th and a full moon at that.
Oh, and it will be my birthday, too. Do I know how to plan a trip, or what!?

Aaaaargh; it was purely platonic with Holly; I was interested in her

Actually I try to maximise my ehhhhhh, rewards, by helping the most

What a kind and generous offer, and on the docks of Dublin at that. I find a
public display of sentiment, very moving.
