Thanks to Cate Ryan from Maryanne Bayliss. Great that you had your Retirement Irish trip. This will be my very belated Irish Retirement holiday, not so much travelling but researching Ancestors. Shame I have left it so late in life that the Rental Car Agents won't rent me a car because I am over 70. Probably safer to keep me off the road anyway as some of those lanes are so narrow. So yes I will be using the Public transport system. And thanks I will contact the NIFHS before I leave. It must be the only Irish Society that I don't subscribe to, although I do read their Magazine through the NZ Genealogy Society.. I am so excited even though it is a 30 hour journey as I now have an Irish Passport so need to make use of it.
