I am going on a trip to Scotland this winter and thought about shooting over to Ireland for a few days. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Yeah but the scottish and Irish are the same only Irish on the island and the scottish across the channel Watch out for terrorist IRA are some of the badest and coldest mother****ers you will ever meet believe it. Oh and not likley you will run into any but leave the gypsies alone and stay away from them they will steal the shirt off your back.

A Guinness brewery tour would surely be a must.
Are you going to be in Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland? The scenery is better down South. I would try to get to some of the small towns/villages along the coast, sample some of the fresh seafood and beer.
The Irish have always seemed to be naturally comedic to me, maybe it was the accent but every one of them that I know has me on the floor laughing.
Have fun!

My wife and I went to Ireland a few years ago and we loved it. We most certainly will go back. The people were very friendly and everywhere we went the food was excellent. We stayed in an old castle for a night on the river Shannon that was outstanding (Glin castle $ 350 / night )
We were there for 10 days and only seen a small part of it. There's too many details to type here but if you want to call me my cell no is 616-813-7237.

CA Stu Yea I have been to the UK many times and know that this is not really the best time to go. But my trip dates are dictated by the shooting season in Scotland.

Mark Hey that looks like a good place! I have heard that the area around Limerick is nice I may have to give that a try.
Thanks! :)

CA Stu LMAO……You mean Bloody Anglishman! :D
Actually I am going Deer Stalking for a week. The grouse bit is a little out of my price range. I have a gamekeeper friend that said he would take me out on the grouse moors and let me shoot a few just so I can say that I have. But not a proper shoot.
This is a trip I have been wanting to do for a long time. I had to go through Ireland to get tickets on my frequent flyer miles so it got me thinking that maybe I should go over there for a few days and check it out. I have seen a lot of England and Scotland but never Ireland.
