Croke Park in Dublin
is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it. If this all sounds a bit dramatic you should take the fantastic Croke Park Experience

Today, Dublin Castle is a government building and significant historic emblem.
"The hotel was nice, however we were at the front of the hotel and it was quite noisy for a long time last night. The window didn't close properly so this didn't help.
The room was nice and clean.
A bottle of water in the room would have been good.
Staff at reception were lovely and very helpful and the restaurant staff were very helpful.
Thanks and yes I would stay here again"
"We went into our room and left . The sheets did not looked washed and were discoloured . The toilet paper roll was used . We were charged over 200 Canadian for this room ! We stayed in a room the night before at another hotel and it was a 5 star and cost us 15 dollars more than this one . We would never recommend this to anyone . Do not waste your money"

While Ireland may not be at the top of your ski destination bucket list, you can still get your fix on the snow! With two artificial slopes to choose from, you can start planning an Ireland ski holiday package.
Ireland may have no ski resorts owing to insufficient snowfall and relatively low mountains, but that doesn't mean you can't get your downhill kicks. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced powder hound looking to improve, the Ski Club of Ireland in Kilternan is a good pick for your Ireland ski holiday package. The country's largest outdoor snow sports complex sits in the heart of the Dublin Mountains and features three artificial slopes. Sign up for lessons or ski and snowboard at your leisure on weekday nights and weekends. The club's ski season runs from September to April, and the cost per practice session starts from 40 euros (around £34) for an adult. Equipment rental such as ski boards and boots are included in the price. Over in Northern Ireland, skiers practice and show off their tricks and skills on the Craigavon Golf and Ski Centre's 300-foot main slope. There is also a nursery slope, snow tubing facilities and lessons for all abilities. No matter your level, artificial slopes are ideal for practising your moves before zigzagging your skis down the real thing.
