Hello Irish, welcome to BC. My father and I went to Ireland in 2007, we went to Ballymoe, in Roscommon County to see the original homestead of Father Flanagan who founded Boys Town in Omaha Nebraska.
It was a great trip, those roundabouts were fun the first day or two especially since I had to get used to driving on the "wrong" side of the road and the car.
We stayed a few days in Bunratty and got to visit Durty Nellys. Here's a link for any bc folks that want to see.
