Tralee is the best one Iāve been to. Theyāve 3 stations, our 2.5 year old graduated from the baby section to the toddler section to the kids section in the hour we were there.
They are mental places.

Have you been to the one in Corbally/Clare itās some size.
No havenāt heard of it, we generally go to delta but will give it a go at some stage.
How old are the kids. Itās much better than delta for older kids
Only one 2.5 year old. She has already mastered delta so Iāll keep Corbally in mind in the future 
Iām guessing, but Iād say yous are 36, 47, and 54?
The hopper went on a work night out Tuesday. Drank four Steiner things of IPA in the beer tent at the Christmas market, then 2 pints of Guinness in town, got in at 5 am, and back up and out for a 9am exam which he said went fine considering he nearly had to leave halfway through to get sick.
His mother says sheās going to kill him.

Fuckin south doc tonight as the eldest had a convulsion i think is the term - temp spiked and she was shivering uncontrollably. She went as pale as a ghost with purple lips, really freaked me outā¦ suppositories saved the day.
The doc insisted that we get a pee sample then ā¦ 30 mins later after a load of water and still nothing and the Bears were driving down the field to beat the Lions

All the best to your little one mate.
I have heard of that convulsion thing - must be seriously frightening. On the pee thing the triage nurse asked for a sample from our boy as well in Crumlin before - it was a Sunday afternoon and instead of being in a pub watching a match we were taking turns holding a cup under his lad waiting for him to piss trying to give him fluids which he wouldnāt take. He never did - then the doctor arrived, examined him and said there was no need for the sample.

Mrs Locke and I were leaving the primary school with our two yesterday evening when we heard a mother wailing after getting out of her car looking for help. Her 18 month old was all limp and eyes rolling. Mrs Locke looked after the mother, ambulance was called. Medics were there super quick. I moved her abandoned car and directed the traffic. All good thankfully.
Was talking to one of the medics as I know her, she said it was their third child with peaking temps they dealt with that day! Frightening.

When it rains it pours.
As relayed the eldest two were quite sick all week but came around yesterday so we want to Moana 2 as planned - lashed in calpol.
Both get the vomiting bug last night 
As mammy is in with the 3 month old i isolated them and stayed on duty with the vomit. Every half hour one of them was popping offā¦ i got about 2 hours broken sleep.
FML.
