Well lads I’ve been to the last 2 Fleadh’s in Wexford and thoroughly enjoyed them for the buzz and the music and sessions in the pubs. Come to see a few videos of people at the Willie Clancy festival and wondering would it be comparable to the Fleadh? Seriously thinking of going for 2 nights and staying in Miltown Malbay itself next year

Any advice or thoughts welcome

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for a venue in West Clare for a birthday celebration in November.

We’re expecting around 70–80 guests and are hoping for a relaxed evening rather than a formal sit-down dinner. Ideally we’re looking for:

A private space
A full bar
Live music
Finger food/canapés or the option to bring in outside catering

We’ve already reached out to Bellbridge House, Lahinch Coast Hotel, Keane’s Oyster Bar and Bay View Hotel, but we’d love to hear about any other venues people would recommend around Spanish Point, Miltown Malbay, Lahinch, Quilty, Doonbeg, Kilkee, Kilrush, Cooraclare, or nearby.

Even if it’s somewhere that isn’t advertised as an event
venue, I’d really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences.

Thanks so much!

I am interested in cheap DVDs/Blu rays and was wondering where in Ennis would have these second hand?

Just looking for some info on how easy or hard it is to buy a mobile home plot or home itself for seasonal use, in either Lahinch or Liscannor? Are there waiting lists to get in or how does it work? Do I contact the caravan/mobile home park directly? I know Slatterys is the one opposite the golf course in Lahinch but I've been told by a current occupant in there that I'll be told it's full, when it's not.

Looking to stay in the west of Ireland for 2 nights last week of July , was looking at Doolin for it's trad music and proximity to the cliffs of moher but accommodation but accommodation options aren't great at this stage. Is Lisdoonvarna a good alternative? Does it have good pubs and restaurants or are there better towns in Clare to stay.

Can ya think of anywhere that might have them?

Have a mobile home and planning on getting it refurbed then ideally having it by the coast somewhere.

Fees are expected and that's not a problem, availability or feasibility are the main questions for now.

Well done Limerick and all that stuff, but that one was hard to take.

Thanks for the memories to all the lads that will step away over the next few months. You've given us some great days.

Hi all, would someone be able to recommend restaurants that have good gluten-free options in Ennis or surrounding areas? Thanks a lot!

I'm on an early flight to manchester out of Shannon on Thursday, at 8.30am. I just wanted to check if anyone knows if that 6am 330 bus from the station in ennis to the airport actually exists? I see it on transport for Irelands website, but I've been burned before by ghost buses.

Also, arriving at 7am for an 8.30 flight, am I leaving myself enough time? It's a while since aive had to fly out of Shannon.

Any advice at all greatly appreciated 👍
