Hello Pat, It should be easy enough to arrange to have a car waiting for you at Donegal Airport. Call: 353 (0)74 95 484 16 and I am sure that Stephen can supply you with a car or otherwise put you in contact with someone else. For 1200 dollars, I would nearly drive for you myself. Welcome to Donegal and enjoy your visit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Thompson" <irish4ever@comcast.net> To: <DONEGALEIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 10:54 PM Subject: [DONEGALEIRE] Question about traveling in Ireland > Hi everyone!
