Default The Emerald Isle

This may not be the appropriate forum so the moderators can move it if they so deem. I'm going to Dublin, Ireland for 9 days the 1st of October. There's going to be time for extra curriculars so I'm wondering if anyone knows of good Irish gun rooms I could visit? Also, any other must see's, must do's while I'm there.

don't know if your love of fine things extends from guns to crystal, but the waterford factory is supposed to be impressive.

I did some shooting in Northern Ireland several years ago and never found a gun shop that was anything more than just standard. The Republic might have better ones, hope you find something.
