Where can I watch the football/hurling/rugby match
It depends on the game. Madra Rua shows a lot of football, Shane often shows rugby at Ireland's Own. The Celt is new but I think they will be showing games too. It depends on the game. Contact the bars directly for more info or contact us.
When’s the best time to go to Ireland?
May & September are my favorite months. Long days, weather is getting better and the Summer crowds haven't arrived yet. June, July & August have the best weather but it’s peak season & places are busy.
