yeah
that’s Ballycotton Bay there
the village of ballycotton is about 5kms over the coast to the west, there’s just a lighthouse up on the island allright as far as i know
Mrs. Kremmen is off there on a work junket shortly. Is it a strange choice of venue for one of those?
Depends what they are doing I suppose?
There isn’t much in the immediate vicinity of the place, but the grounds are nice for a walk. There is self catering lodges down the back of the estate so maybe that’s where they are staying, I’d imagine they would be better suited to groups.
We got an upgrade to a suite in the hotel. It was fuckin class.
did you go for something to eat in Ballymaloe?
Just had some lunch in the cafe there. Think I just had some soup, remember it being nice but pricey.
Was that paedo lad hanging around the place?
heading there in a couple of weeks harry, if you can wait til then for a report. Dont thinks its all inclusive though unfortunately.
Maryborough is a nice spot. Stayed there a few times. We were due to get married there but had to change plans. Ask for one of the new style rooms or Spa rooms if you can, they’re much nicer. Food is good and service is good.
Would you believe he was actually at the table beside us AND he had two young children with him
And people still buy their fucking relish!
was there last week carryharry, nice spot. Good hotel, decent restaurant and a nice bar. Staff there were nice too, considering most of them are from Cork. Leisure facilities are good as well.
Maryborough have a deal for 1 night bed and breakfast with a 4 course dinner and spa treatments for €149. You will find it on dealpage.ie. There are some great discounts on all kinds of stuff there.
Bill Cullen’s hotel in Killarney is also on it.
Relish is a different company altogether. The stuff is made in a factory in little island by really decent landed gentry types
Me bollix. You can be sure that shower in Ballymaloe are getting a cut for the use of the brand.
East Cork or what.
Ballymaloe is shit anyway, stay away.
+1 Very average
I saw Ballymaloe got a pretty shit review recently, good to see people waking up.
Mickee, what is the opinion of Gilberts in your hometown? Seems to be the nicest restaurant in East Cork, although I’ve only been there once.

yeah, its a nice spot allright turenne, the lack of a decent pub to go to afterwards is a problem tho,
actually the Elm Tree in Glounthaune is a good place for food and drinks, id highly reccommend it

Arm young people with facts, not fear.
Published: March 23, 2013
Young people are having sex whether the Sunday Independent or Deputy Michelle Mulherin like it or not.
Some of them are having sex with more than one person, and sometimes with more than one person at the one time.
Research shows the average age at which teens start to engage in sexual activity is getting younger, particularly in urban areas. HSE data from 2006 (which is now seven years old) shows the average age at which a young person has sex for the first time is 17 (both male and female).
Education needs to begin earlier than the age of first sex and it is widely accepted that sexual education in Irish schools is both of poor quality and inconsistent.
Research by the HSE shows that young people who receive a detailed and quality sex education actually wait longer to have sex for the first time.
SpunOut.ie exists to provide balanced, reliable and responsible information for 16 to 25 year olds only. The age of consent in Northern Ireland is 16, SpunOut.ie is an all-island charity.
The Sunday Independent wrongly claims we receive €250,000 in state funding. We receive €124,000 in total and this was confirmed with the journalist in question at 11.50am on Saturday March 23rd by phone.
SpunOut.ie believes in the ability of young people to make the right decision for themselves once they have access to quality and reliable information, such as the information provided by our website.
We promote safer sex to reduce the transmission of STIs and unwanted pregnancy.
Young people are bombarded with unrealistic sexual imagery through films and porn, neither of which detail the drawbacks to different forms of sexual activity.
We do not promote threesomes, we arm young people with the facts about them.
We advise young people not to be coerced or pressured into having any form of sex.
All too often, older generations avoid having conversations with their young people about difficult subjects. This is particularly true in relation to sex. Parents feel uncomfortable talking to their children about it and teachers are afraid to raise the subject in the classroom. An adult’s discomfort does not negate a young person’s right to information.
Silence does not breed confidence, instead it creates fear and confusion.
We should arm our young people with the facts and trust them to make responsible decisions.
SpunOut.ie is proud to do just that.
