You don't get attacked at all Alison - Just some of the statements you make! There is a difference you know:-)

I have been to Dublin and then straight across to Listowel. That is a fine town, with manly literary connections if that's what tickles your fancy. Stopped in Finugue, just outside Listowel and the home village of Sean McCarthy who wrote many wonderful songs. Visited Tralee on the way to the Dingle Peninsula. I would not be too worried about the first but would definitely re-visit the last.

On my next trip though I intend seeing Lisdoonvarna, the Burren and various bits of the north where I believe I may be on for a free pint:-) My not be for a couple of years though. I have also heard that the ring of Kerry if very pretty but may be quite busy. Hope this helps.

Cheers
