Well, not entirely. I had asked the bootsnall forum if there was anywhere folks would like me to go and report back on for Paddy’s day, but I’m sorry to say I didn’t get a single suggestion! So, it was an Athlone Saint Patrick’s Day and that suited me just fine.
It was an early start [...]

Dublin Airport’s winter characters

If you find yourself in Dublin Airport during the month of December you may find some unusual company: the Dublin Airport Winter Statues. I asked around but no one at the airport could tell me who did the statues or exactly how old they are. They are at least several years old and you can [...]
Santa visits Dublin Airport

So there we were, standing in Dublin airport when the louudspeaker clicked on overhead,
“Final boarding call for all flights departing Dublin for the North Pole. This is the final boarding call for the North Pole.”
At first I thought I must have heard wrong. Then I went over to one of the helpful Dublin Airport Assistant [...]

When Aine Casey stepped off her Aer Lingus jet today in Dublin airport, she made history as the 20 millionth passenger within a year to do so.
The powers that be greeted her with a bottle of champagne, a bouquet of flowers and a gift certificate for €3,000. I have written about the strange things [...]

So if you intend to travel somewhere other than Dublin from Dublin Airport, the handiest and cheapest way of doing so is to catch a coach. This may come as a surprise to you, because I find that the coach services from Dublin airport are not well advertised.
There are two national coach companies in Ireland, [...]
Dublin Airport conversation

So there I was sitting on a bench in Dublin airport minding my own business when this guy came up to me.
“How’s it goin?” he asked.
“Good,” I replied.
“So, these new airport regulations are woeful,” he said with a big smile.
“Yeah? Why the big smile then?” Disturbed, I suddenly noticed he was wearing make-up.
“Yeah, well, I’m [...]
