Title: Just back from a few days in the Free State
Post by: T Fearon on April 18, 2017, 10:36:55 PM
Pleasant enough experience,and never paid more than €5.70 for a pint anywhere in Dublin or Wicklow.Amazed to see the shops all open in Dublin on Easter Monday, and a drive round Killiney on a good morning never fails to inspire.

Only poor experience was being hastily ushered out of the Pro Cathedral at 12 noon on Easter Monday by a jobsworth,after I had literally just stepped over the threshold? Apparently he had to lock up? At noon? What is that all about?

Archbishop Martin has you on a banned list of  ultra orthodox doctrinaire old fashioned Catholics.

They never built a decent cathedral despite all the power and money they had. The pro cathedral was supposed to be a temporary arrangement.

Probably thought you would reef out the collection boxes.
Where exactly is this Free State you visited?
Your British education (or lack of) is letting you down
