I want to suprise my Hubby with a day trip to Mondello Park this year which is being held on Fathers day. I have looked into a lot of areas, got the car hire, airport parking, looked into the tickets but the flights are what worry me the most. Obviously going to be Ryanair, the last flight leaves Dublin 21:15, I will have to be there by 20:15 at the latest! I have found out that it takes 3 hrs at least from Mondello Park to Dublin Airport through the traffic after the racing is done. I dont know if to book or not, What are our chances of missing the last flight back to stansted? Has anyone done this trip before? Also, I would appreciate your opinions on if you think this is a good track to visit or would you choose one of the others? Thanks for your answers

For a summer vacation I usually just drive down to the states for a while, to get a tan and at least say I left the country, it’s getting kind of boring, Ive seen pretty much everything Ive wanted to see in North America. So next summer I would like to go overseas… Ireland seems very interesting I heard Dublin was a really nice place and the people are very friendly, is there any places you would recommend visiting in Ireland?

Many people every year choose to live a learning holiday abroad alone or with their friends in order to start or complete their English language learning. This is a specific need originated by the increasing relevance of such language both in the working and scholastic field. So, many students leave for a learning trip in England, sometimes forgetting that Ireland – and above all Dublin, its capital city – is another wonderful place for experiencing a unique language trip abroad.
Dublin is an extraordinary city, currently living a period of strong economic growth and development. It is one of the major European centres and, more than an enviable location with wonderful landscapes, it has a long, deep history and tradition that turned it into one of the most important European cultural centers, during the years.
With a young and sophisticated atmosphere, today’ s Dublin is a city that seems to be tailored on people who love travelling while studying at the same time.
In fact, in Dublin it is possible to find several English language schools giving foreign students the chance to learn English fast and easy, but without give up the idea to have a professional and high quality language teaching.
Among the numerous programmes supported by English language schools in Dublin, one of the most acclaimed is the so called Standard English Course in Dublin.
Such course’s aim is to increase students’ general knowledge of English language, so, through activities of reading, writing, speaking and listening, they will learn to develop their communication skills in English, while developing also their lexical and grammatical knowledge. The minimum for the Standard English course is two weeks and classes are usually formed groups of 14 students no more, in order to give teachers the possibility to take care about any student’s need and to carefully follow their language improvement.
So, what are you waiting for?….Summer is approaching and it’s time for planning your learning holiday in the beautiful city of Dublin!

guys i know there are a lot of people in liverpool called simon,but not all of them went to liverpool university and visited dublin in 1989,i really need your help on this guys any tips or help would truly be appreciated.
Dublin is often referred to as the party capital of Europe; full of pubs, clubs and Irishmen extolling the virtues of ‘the craic’. One thing you will find in abundance in the Irish capital is traditional folk music and you certainly won’t have to travel very far around the streets of Dublin to find a place to have a jig and a swig!
Whelan’s in Camden Street, central Dublin is the place to visit for traditional and folk music. This exciting venue has had most of Ireland’s folk talent perform on its stage at some point. Just a stone’s throw away, also in Camden Street, is The Village – another vibrant music venue, that’s well worth a visit.
Vicar Street – despite its confusing name – is not a street but a fabulous traditional music venue and can be found in Thomas Street in the heart of Dublin. This prestigious venue opened in 1998 promising to give Dublin a mid-size venue that would ‘punch above its weight’. It presents bands and solo artists that play all types and genres of music including traditional and folk, with big-name Irish bands such as the Dubliners appearing at this venue. Other artists that are slated to appear at Vicar Street include Dara O’Briain, Fionn Regan and Brendan Grace proving that it is living up to its promise to deliver quality acts.
Plus, you’ll find many more places where you can enjoy traditional folk music at most times of day or night. Bars, cafes and hotels in Dublin are all places where you can find Irish Folk Music being performed by eager and talented local musicians. Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy just about any other genre of music in Dublin that takes your fancy, from rock to classical. So, if you are planning to visit Dublin, or just toying with the idea, make sure that you are prepared for ‘the craic’!
And if you are in any doubt as to how much the Irish love their music, take note of the following example. The Irish Post Office has recently started selling a series of stamps that pay tribute to four iconic bands whose roots are based in traditional Irish folk music; The Chieftans, The Dubliners, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, and Altan. The bands have been chosen because of the success they have had in taking traditional Irish folk music to the world. The inclusion of Tommy Makem is quite poignant as he recently passed away, and these stamps make a fitting tribute to his life-time contribution to making Irish music popular throughout the United States. They are sure to become collectors’ items, so be sure to pick some up when you visit Dublin.
