We went from Courtmacsharry and it was deadly! The night before we kayaked the phosphorescent lake (Lough Hyme) near Baltimore. Would advise doing both
Go to Courtmac 4 or 5 times a year and have never been Whale watching 
Would advise it. We were out on the boat for 2 and a half hours. Didn't see anything the first hour and a half but it was still enjoyable. The final hour I couldn't get over the amount of dolphins and whales that we seen. Didn't expect so many at all!

Great shot of a humpback breaching the surface off Courtmac today. Photo taken by one of the local TD's.

That’s class. Coincidentally I’m heading down in the morning, flying visit Clap

Booked a week in Lanzarote in Oct. Free cancellation on the hotel and I believe I can re-schedule the flights if required.

I do recall Vox pops at the quays in newry in earlier days and southern shoppers regaling the interviewer on all the saving they made on their 'family shopping ' as they load bottle of vodka after bottle of vodka after bottle of vodka into their car

Yer not wrong, things are bloody expensive down here.

Evening allowing for salary differential etc, it's too big of a price gap.

Don't think they have ever released their ROI profits either. Combine them with the rest of group so not to advertise how much extra we get charged here.

€1.50 in Dealz/Mr. Price.

Usually do my shopping in Aldi or Lidl. Had the misfortune to be in Super Valu recently and couldnt believe the price of stuff. Too many brand snobs willing to pay extra. 
Sham no name brands come at a price , please check the suger and salt content with brand zero with a named brand , cereal really stands out .
Cereal across the board is awful for Sugar, couldn't believe I'd gone so long having that for breakfast every day before I figured that out. A lot of them have squeaky clean images too.
