A simple trip to the Crane on Sea Road in Salthill will speed your
decision making process.

| Regarding quarantine, I looked into this a few years ago, and was not
very happy with what I found out. The animal must be held in quarantine
for at least six months. This could be extended if the animal were to
become ill at any stage of the quarantine period. In Ireland the
government runs the kennels where animals are quarantined, unlike
England where they are privately owned. The disadvantage of this is
that there is no competition, in other words you take what you get.
This is not to say that the facilities are not adequate, but I have
heard that they are not much better than adequate.
Sorry to be so negative, and you may find out things have changed
somewhat since I looked into it. Check with the Irish Embassy, also try
the CANINE conference.

Thanks for the input.
Re .1: where is the crane on sea road in salthill? will i find it
on a map? what is it ("the pipes are calling"?)?
Re .2: yes, i'm getting the feeling that the quarantine is not
something i would want to put my pet through. i will check it
out thoroughly while i'm there. its too bad that not only is
it such a rigid law, but that the conditions are not terribly
appealing (i.e. private, local kennels).

I moved back to Ireland from PR and put my Wolfhound in
quarantine for six months. The kennels themselves are fine, but the
animal is a virtual prisoner and doesn't take kindly to it. You are
allowed to visit the dog. The quarantine kennel isn't state-run but
is state-approved and there is only one for all of the Irish Republic,
which is situated at Swords, Co. Dublin and is about 15mins from the
Airport - tel 01-8401776. Enjoy your visit....
Tod.

| re. Crane
The Crane, while not in Salthill, is on route to Salthill from Galway
City. It used to be a regular haunt for traditional music, but the last
time I was home (last year) its' popularity had fallen off a lot. The
strip of pubs along Domenic Street (Waterfront, Munroes, Mick Taylors
etc.) seemed to have the best in trad. music. Also worth a visit was
the Quays and the Tribesmen.

| John, you must be well oiled by the time you reach the Thatch in
Oranmore if you have one in all of the above.
KeVin Burns has probably done it on more than one occasion!

My tummy isn't as resilient to the porter as it used to be and in
addition you have all those pesky drunk driving laws which make it very
dangerous to do all in one night.
Now ......stagger.....stagger ...stagger wheresh ....that

The last time we had a night like that we slept in the carpark in
Kinvara across from Dongory Castle !!!! :-)
Or was the the night we slept in Mike Hughes Driveway in Claregalway
because we couldn't figure out how to unlock the front door to his
house ...
Or was it the night .... Oh Nevermind !!! :-)

| We had a warm welcome there about two weeks ago when our ceili band had
its debut in the Ballyvaughan Inn.
Good spot with a good audience.
Clare appreciates traditional music.
