    On stuff being closed on a Tuesday, sometimes in Western Ireland places will close or have limited hours on the Monday/Tuesday because they had staff on at the weekends. They're better off being open for a Sunday than a Tuesday kind of logic. Usually this is smaller businesses that can't be keeping loads of staff on.

    My Mammy, who died 25 years ago, maiden name was Moher, family came to New Zealand from near Liscannor, so I'm sure that the cliffs are named after my family. Still miss her.

    Excellent video, I live about 4 hours away on the east coast of Ireland and have toured the Wild Atlantic way a few times, it's stunning, early this summer we used you guide to the NC500 for our motorbike trip and it was mind blowing, totally unreal, thanks very much for such a detailed guide :-) we definitely didn't see half the stuff but everyday was packed with as much as we could fit in. P.S. many places to gas refills in Ireland, its just badly advertised

    Awh looks like a nice relaxed break away. Being Irish had a giggle at a couple of pronouncinations , Listowel( Listoel) Cliffs of Moher( Mowher) , i enjoyed it all. The Cliffs of Moher have had a few people sadly thrown themselves off there, so sad. Delighted ye saw a good few placws before ye decided to head to Dublin. Knick is pure country, lovely people. Did ye check halfords for the bucket.
