The Booley House in Ballyduff was up to its usual high standards for Irish music and dance. Had some lovely meals in the Latch restaurant in Tallow and the Italian restaurant on the sea front in Dungarvan, the seafood platter was absolutely fabulous. The Granary owner Willie was very friendly, helpful and customer orientated.
