Chris,there is a full time accommodation officer currently at the Fleadh Office in Tullamore.If you google FLEADH 2008 you will see ACCOMMODATION link, if you go to the PRIVATE tab you may find some kind unregistered HOUSEHOLD offering some thing that suits, you will also find the Fleadh office number on that site & they are most helpful ,most in-town places have been booked from last year, so you may have to travel out a few miles.
Happy & succesful hunting
