Hi Paul, I found  "Holiday Homes" near Allihies that are very nice.There are several together and they are new but charming .We stayed in one for 4 people but there were others.The woman who runs them is Sheila Sheehan and I think you can find them on the web.if not.,let me know . I do not know of any B and B's in Allihies.Is this the Paul Murphy I know from MD? Take care, Jane Sullivan --- On Sun, 9/21/08, Paul Murphy <fpm60@embarqmail.com> wrote: From: Paul Murphy <fpm60@embarqmail.com> Subject: [BEARA] Trip to Beara To: "Beara Request" <Beara-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, September 21, 2008, 5:12 PM Hi, gentle Beara folk, I'm contemplating a possible trip of about 2 weeks to Ireland with my family, up to 11 people (6 adults, 5 children ages 6-21). We would perhaps spend about 5 days in Beara roaming the lands of my Murphy/Sullivan roots and spend the rest of the time touring the rest of Ireland. Does anyone have any ideas I might take advantage of especially with respect to a B&B in Beara, transportation (I should think we'd need 2 or maybe even 3 cars......by the way, is there a maximum driving age in Ireland?), and any other relevant advice ? The time frame would probably be June-August because of school constraints. I've traveled Ireland with my wife only and merely planned each succeeding day and place as each day ended, but I suspect that with a large group that might not be so easy. Any information would be helpful.
