yes, I believe I've driven through ennis a number of times, on the way to the airport. Bad traffic jams there, thank god we have a motorway now.
that's awesome, hope you get to do some sightseeing. I'm about 1-2 hours from both Galway and Dublin, if that helps you place me.
a certain turk has done more sightseeing in ireland in a few months than I have in 22 years. *sigh*, it's shameful.
