Coors now own the brewery side of things, but not the pub so I don't think they would have much to do with the festivals.

Shane still owns the pub.

[DEMPSEY]

So M/C own the brewery in the pub,but not the pub,is that it.

Right im prety much commited to this - ill have 5 or 6 lads going. Have to find accomodation now - if i mention the word hostel to them they'll freak - might be more craic any way if we book into the room next door to Dempsey and keep him awake all night.

I guess leave it up to yerselves to book etc. Its as little a EUR15 per night, you can get brekky for EUR3, plus they have deals with the Shelbourne bar - 15% discount and 4Star Pizza - 50% off if you show your lodging ticket.

Just watched Morticia Addams give the forecast from Met Eireann for the weekend, dry and warm, a positively balmy 11 Degrees

[JimmyM]

Good stuff -
Im booked on the 10am train with a few of the lads - and meeting another couple down there.

Booked into the travellodge too - only realised afterwards ill have to go out of town from the train station to the hotel n straight back in again to the pub.
All you other travellodgers are prob driving.

Next year we are hiring a minibus!

[JimmyM]

Why? is that early or late?
It starts at 2 doesnt it? That'll gimme a chance to get the bags into the hotel and work out where the jax is for when i come bursting in the door again later after the  feed of cask ale.
