County Meath Travel Forum

Hello There,
We will be visiting Ireland for the first time and staying at the Ashbourne Marriott in County Meath. We are renting a car and would like to get some advice on places to see at night in the area. Most of our plans are in Dublin and wanted to get driving tips, advice and directions to Central Dublin or specifically, Dublin Tourism Office- Suffolk st. where we will be meeting the tour group. Thank you.

Do you know how long is the trip Dublin-Newgrange? I'm traveling by public transport and I have few time...
Thanks a lot,

A couple of us are thinking of heading up to the Ráth Cairn Gaeltacht from Dublin next Saturday in preparation for our Oral Irish exam next Tuesday. (aaaah!!)

We are actually finding it pretty difficult to find any information at all about the place. From what I can see, it only a small little village out by Athboy, so OK, we're not expecting a big Gaeltacht metropolis like Spiddal ;-))

I know Ráth Cairn is a recognised Gaeltacht but if the only place where we can practise our Irish there is in some language school, then it would just be a waste of time going there.

Really, all I'm asking is whether it would be worth the trip, are we definitely likely to hear Gaeilge being spoken out in the street, in pubs/cafes in "real life"? Given us poor NUIM students' time/money constraints, not all of us can just head off to Connemara or Dingle for the whole weekend :(

Can anyone give me any information about a nice little Irish town called Kildalkey? Are there any B&Bs availabe?
