It took us 7 hours to do the drive but we prob stopped for about an hour in total...so about 6 hrs driving.<br />At one time for all public service jobs ability to communicate with the public in Irish was necessary.At one time all University lectures had to as well as students could ask to be taught in Irish. But that's gone now for a long time, it is still be true in Primary schools, they not only have to be able to teach Irish but be able to teach a range of subjects thro' Irish, this is no longer the case for secondary schools teachers.<br /><br />Thanks IsDihara and Ridgetatter for reading and commenting.<br /><br />Hi Carol, I wouldn't think that the houses would be similar in style. the poor fellow who built the first house didn't even get to live in it as he was shot dead in a land dispute with a local family!<br />Hi Jane and Witty Prmt thanks for your encouragement.Tatskoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282750261031558615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-20135107211510201612011-03-16T15:35:17.027+00:002011-03-16T15:35:17.027+00:00I saw some very interesting posts here.

Exhilarating! <br />Do so enjoy your travelogues...thank you from one who doesn’t get far beyond her room very often; but, has memories of beautiful sights. <br />xx bjRidgewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-11216056226649397422011-03-15T00:54:04.472+00:002011-03-15T00:54:04.472+00:00Wow, the weather changes were remarkable, but in s...Wow, the weather changes were remarkable, but in spite of them all, your photos are beautiful.it was almost as if I were peeking out of the back seat, hee hee!IsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-46439676465803726472011-03-14T23:05:02.889+00:002011-03-14T23:05:02.889+00:00What a shame it was too cold to explore! - but the...What a shame it was too cold to explore! - but the views were probably better enjoyed from a warm car.<br />Staying at that wonderful hotel would have been holiday enough for me - it's gorgeous!<br />How long did it take to drive from the top of Ireland to the bottom?<br />My youngest daughter fell in love with Ireland when she was there about 4 years ago - she wanted to stay there,she said,but couldn't get a job as she is a teacher and was told that all teachers have to be able to teach in Gaelic!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.com
