Ok Just my little bit here:bow
'I have a mad northern irish man in my life
I have been to northern Ireland many times and really enjoyed my time there
The history between northern and southern is sad and to be honest the children who grew up in those times have long wanted to see it all pass away. It is after all an island split by religion.

I love the place so many lovely people just wanting get on with life:thumbs

I have been to southern Ireland with myman and he was so pleased to be able to go and see things without hatetred
We both loved the art on the walls and saw it as art not graffetti
Ireland has a great history and is full music that tells you the history of the north and south

the meeting of the drums at storemount when the peace treaty was signed was so moving .

It is a beautiful island not to missed both north and south:thumbs

Ok,thanks again for the input,interesting views by all of you. Ok,here's a suggestion,how about a little email campaign to the ferry companies. They are chasing business all the time and maybe if enough people emailed and said they would love to use their ferries to travel to Ireland but they are charging too much for cars and caravans, it is possible they might do a deal at particular times of the year. Being Ireland it won't matter if the deals are off season as it will be raining anyway. They do great deals for golfers so why not for caravans? Maybe the Caravan Club could also approach them or maybe somebody already did this and I'm years behind. Worth a try,anyway. Norfolk Line are doing Dublin -Liverpool at the moment, car and two people for about €65 each way, Think that's about £100 return, not bad value.

By the way, if any of you are coming over anytime,let me know where you are going to so I can maybe point you towards the good bits and around the bad spots.

oh well lets all paint swastika's on our houses, and see if the jewish people want to come and look at our new tourist attraction

if ireland wants to move on all that garbage should be removed , same as germany has outlawed all that stuff ( allegedly )

and still no offense liam, its just not for me
there are just too many innocent lives lost by them fu.ks bombing all around the uk

i know nothing about the northern ireland business , but i suspect most of the bombers victims knew nothing about it either

and really its not personal


dont anyone mention scotish govenment either ......... please

Hi Colin:thumb2, I know nothing about the northern ireland business either I will say I attended a few pistol shooting competitions in Northern Ireland, walking around with a 9mm on my hip and 200+rounds of ammo, me and 9 others from the Republic amongst 90 other NI people,some PSNI ,some TA,some British Army, majority Protestant (i'm Catholic).A few of the PSNI guys even gave us some tips on how to improve our shooting technique, that's how friendly they were, and by the way we were on a British Army base for some of the competitions. The squaddies even asked us if we had weapons at the security check, we said "yes" and they said "ok ,go ahead", that was strange Sure,there were a few of them (one or two) who were a bit wary and distant but the majority were 100% ok and what a wicked sense of humour most of them have. I had the pleasure of the company of one guy who had his pal killed while he was badly injured in an IRAterrorist attack, they were both in the UDR. He's pensioned off and still suffering. One of the guys who was involved in the attack got perforated eardrums from being too close to his blast bomb when it went off, successfully sued the RUC as he alleged they had burst his eardrums during his arrest and questioning. There are places to avoid in Northern Ireland if you are from the Republic, less of a problem if you are English as Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.

No problem being English in the Republic,unless you try to tell us how we should be doing things, 800 years of the English trying that is still irritating to us down here. Take a deep breath and book the flights/ferry, you won't be disappointed,surprised maybe but not sorry.

liam caravan club already do deals for members to get there caravans from the uk to other ports, i joined there club for this reason alone as it was cheaper to become a member and then use there deals to travel on the ferries.

I was sure I wasn't the first to think of this:doh Maybe now some more members will come over and see what they have been missing :thumb2 How good are the deals compared to regular prices?
