Good luck on your trip to Ireland. We have been 4 times and were going this year but having seen the prices of food etc in the supermarkets we were advised by a friend who lives there not to go as we would be broke by the end of 3 weeks. We cancelled our ferry crossing and stayed in the UK for the period.

Ireland is in the worst recession of all the EC countries so I would take as much food as you can carry safely. It is a great place but is counting the cost of even worse bad managemeent than we are and that's saying something.

Suggest that you stay in the north as the prices there are the same as UK. The scenery is superb in Donegal and all around the coast. Just go down to Dublin and stay at Camac Valley. Take the tourist bus into town and definitely do not take the car!!!

 Been doing Ireland for the last 5 years but like 2kias to dear this year, i will give you a list of sites we have used in NI Belcoo Rushin House beautiful site, ROI The Apple farm in Tipperary, Glen of Aherlow Tipperary, Donoghues White Villa Farm Kilarney cheapest site in Killarney area,,Adare camping & caravan park Limerick, Streamstown caravan & camping Roscrea Tipperary,Moat farm caravan & camping Donard Co Wicklow, Hudsons bay C/C Park Athlone Co Westmeath these are just a few we have stayed at, but go to the Camp site forum have look in there at the reviews and other sites, last of all enjoy your holiday in Ireland, ive missed going this year i like Ireland very much.

Hi buttercup.

Some people think they are so amusing!!!!!!!!!

Noticed you are towing with a Carens like us. We recently had a big problem with ours. We got stuck in Bristol after being diverted off the M4. We were in a traffic jam on a hill and almost did not make it as the clutch started to burn. The problem is the lack of a hand brake so you can't hold the outfit on a hill without applying it completely. The car tows extremely well but I am now very carefull in traffic. The clutch soon cooled down and is now working well.
