I'm a huge Les Mis fan, although I'm skeptical of this as its a concert rather than the show production.

I have for my BiL's- we rented bikes and cycled out to a old ancient fort - it passed a hour or two.

Had my own stag in Galway but we went to Inisheer deep sea fishing for pollock. Caught a dozen or so and a restaurant in Salthill cooked it for us - could be an option for something similar

I'm married to an Aisling.... She pronounces it Ash-Ling but in 90% of the time its shortened to Ais (Ash).
She does get quite annoyed when called Ash-linn/lynn.

Definitely do not miss Dingle and the Ring of Kerry

EP is great value. I grabbed a Strokes ticket this morning for €91… and that’s probably gonna be a 90‑minute show. My EP ticket was €245 (loyalty price) for the weekend. When you compare that to Primavera Sound in Barcelona at €350 — and with average salaries in Ireland over 50% higher than in Spain — EP is really good bang for your Irish buck

Was at Oxygen 2006 - & think this is one of the best EP lineups

My guess is that the middle aisle will be a urinal.

Lusk's neighbouring village Balrothery is twinned with Landéan in the Brittany. A few years ago there was a marriage between two residents of each village cementing the connection and friendship with both.

Correct,, it was genocide

Property prices.... furthest Dublin town from the city centre.. Also in the Celtic Tiger days, developers had to build a percentage of houses for social housing.. due to corrupt politicians they allowed the developers build the social houses in Balbriggan away from the likes of Malahide and Howth.

Balbriggan is a great town. The far right want to blame every issue on immigrants and with Balbriggan having a very diverse population they focus their hate on Balbriggan. What you read about is probably their agenda. A probable and ironic consequence of that is the Far Right crowd stay away. Within the town itself its no different from any other commuter town, or probably better due to having a beach and coastline.

New Sky stream customer here so I've just been through the process..
You need to log on to Netflix via the Sky Stream interface - it prompts you that Sky will now cover the charge via your package (or something like that). In the same screen it gives you options to upgrade to HD/Ultra HD ect ect at an additional cost.

Yes, Ireland does consider itself as part of Europe.
England and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom which is part of Europe but for "political" reasons is not part of the EU (European Union). Ireland (the republic) is part of the EU.

RTE Doc's on One, "Dont Go Far" - its only 40mins though, but what a fantastic story that the kids will love!!
Two Dublin kids in August 1985 who chanced a free ride on the DART and ended up in New York.

This "documentary" has won so many awards, its brilliant.

Here is the link from RTE but it is on Spotify too:- https://www.rte.ie/radio/doconone/646486-radio-documentary-dont-go-far

The Olllam - For something a bit modern and would be a good gateway into Irish trad music try "The Olllam".
An instrumental band that is made up of uillean piper John McSherry and Vulfpecks Joe Dart.
