The best place to visit in Ireland for fun has to be Galway City. There's always something going on and the variety of entertainment on offer in unmatched anywhere else in the country. It's a good base for sight seeing too as it's close to the Cliffs of Moher, Achill Island, Bunratty Castle and is only an hour and a half from Limerick city. There are some great pubs and restaurants and lots of good shopping.

Answer 3

Pffft..these people know nothing. The best spots in Eire, or ireland as you tourists call it, are on Gillian McGillicuddy's back. She has three very large ones, surrounded by several smaller ones. One of three big ones resembles James Joyce, while one of the smaller ones is exactly like a perfectly poured pint of Guiness, Gillian has white body hairs, and the ones on the top of this spot make a wonderful foam top. There is a claim from Beryl O'Hara in Killarney, that she has a spot that resembles the lion from Clarence the cross eyed lion tv series, but there is no confirmation of this. Hope that helps.
