Mind ur business!!

Its not cold all the time but the weather is very unpredicable even in the middle of summer you might get a few weeks of constant rain. Id reccommend you invest in a light rain jacket and bring clothes you can layer so that you'll be ready for hot or cold weather.

Ireland is beautiful and has some fantastic scenery depending on where you go. If you visit the big cities like Dublin, Cork, Galway etc you could be anywhere in the world except the people are probably much friendlier. Id reccommend that if you want to see the real ireland and beautiful countryside to stay out of the major cities. Hire a car and tour around,

If your goin to be here in Aug then pencil in the 10th, 11th and 12th and stay in Killorglin, Co Kerry for Puck Fair. Its the same dates every year. Its an old Pagan Festival where a goat is captured and placed on a stand foe 3 days and nights as ruler of the Kingdom(Kerry). Nothing cruel happens him RSPCA are involved etc in case you're worried. Its great crack, the place is always packed and loads of street entertainment etc. That area itself is gorgeous, the views of Cahersieven and beaches in Glenbeigh where you can take a horse trek on the beach are fantastic, Dingle is also an hour away where you can take a boat trip to see Fungie the Dolphin. There are not too many hotels in Killorglin there are few B&Bs or try booking a holiday home but you'd want to do it well in advance. Nearest airport to fly into would be Kerry or Shannon.

In shannon Bunratty castle and folkpark is worth a look its lovely too and a very enjoyable day out.

I live in South Tipperary myself and so better mention a few of our own local attractions tho as you can tell I have 110% fallen in love with Kerry. Around Tipp there are also some fantastic scenery such as the Nire valley, Mahon Falls etc

If you need any other info just add a comment and ill do my best to get back to you.

Podge and Rodge Tribute Band

It's just like it is in the movies.
Every village has a Barry Fitzgerald matchmaker type and there's always a fiesty redhead waiting to be tamed by an American Sean Thornton character.
Most villages also have a brooding wife type married to an ineffectual schoolmaster who is seduced by the charms of an army officer. The scenery is usually spectacular as well......

You'll love it here!

Podge and Rodge: "an ineffectual schoolmaster who is seduced by the charms of an army officer"? I've never seen that movie...

Hey, around my part of Ireland, at 13 you're more than old enough to be thinking about honeymoons...

It's not really cold here all the time. The past two days were lovely, for example (the only example of lovely days for months) but it can rain at any moment. The climate is mild, which means you can have a beautiful day in December, but equally you can have terrible days in July. No one comes here to enjoy the climate, but there is enough to do that doesn't need good weather to be enjoyed.

The countryside is really beautiful, much prettier than the postcards, and the people really are lovely. A perfect holiday here would be a three week stay where you hire a car and drive the whole way around the coastline, staying in Bed & Breakfast accommodation and taking excursions inland to see places like Tara, Clonmacnoise and the Rock of Cashel.

If you're serious about coming, get a copy of the DK Guide to Ireland, it's one of the best there is. The official tourism website is http://www.discoverireland.ie
