    Good article. Sounds like a fun time. I'd like to get back to Ireland sometime and see more than just Dublin.
    Now, notes from the proofreader/editor in me: twenty-five needs a hyphen; Euros needs to be capitalized; family-run establishment needs a hyphen; and a couple other minor errors that would be caught if AC hired a proofreader. No big deal, most publications would fix those for you considering the article is well written.
