an important message to anyone looking to book flights. CHECK EVERY DETAIL BEFORE CONFIRMING!!
we have a 10 to 8 flight the morning after the game due to my error. if we wanted to change it is £70 to change the flight to the evening. or we pay £8 and have both flights in our name and decide when we are out there what flight we catch back. :ayatollah:

You need to know where to go Billy. I've just spent 3 months working out there. It averages €5 which is about £4.50. In temple bar you'll pay at least €5.50, but in some tourist bars in Temple Bar they put the price up by €0.50 every hour which is wrong as f**k.

The cheapest place I've found a pint (albeit midweek) is in a nightclub called Diceys which is just off St Stephen's Green. It's €2 on a Tuesday, €3 on a Weds and Thurs. Oh and its packed to the rafters with up for it student clunge.

If you're just going over a weekend expect to pay €5 a pint.

Cant be bothered with February, will go out in May at the end of the season for the two games for a good piss up (the Northern Irish always make an atmosphere :lol:). And then Bulgaria in October most likely. :ayatollah:

I get called an english c**t when I was away with the Irish for Italy match last year, as with most countries it has its share of knobs. A high proportion happen to be in Cork.

As others said previously, I can assure you that there are people there that are nice and welcoming. Should be great fun there - wish I could go. Would be fun to see Norn Iron play. Hope the teams take it seriously.
