St Paddy’s Daze

St Patrick’s greatest gift to us? No, not driving the snakes out of Ireland, but giving us a boozy party in the middle of Lent.

So where are five great places for the craic;

Slope off for some fun

And skiers and boarders clad in green novelty suits do light up the slopes.

As I found in Austria… Soll Mates.

Our friends at the Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) have flagged up a seven-night stay from March 15… with Grogan Travel Worldchoice.

Off the wall in Berlin

If the Irish, or Scots, had been there during the Sixties, Seventies or Eighties, we’d have brought that Wall down with our partying.
