In planning our trip to Ireland in May, I signed up on livingsocial.com for deals in Ireland.  Yesterday a good deal came up for Durty Nelly's at Bunratty Castle, and I thought I would pass it along.  If you are familiar with Living Social, you only have a few days to buy deals when they are offered, and I think this one is available for four more days or so.  Anyway, I bought it for my family, and I thought I would pass it along to anyone else who might be interested!

• For 25 (up to a 50.60 value, for up to 51% off) bring a friend or partner out to lunch with a main course, a dessert, and a hot drink each for two people.
• Or for 49 (a 101.20 value, for up to 52% off), get the whole crew involved with the same deal for four people.
• Situated next to Bunratty Castle, sit down in one of Ireland's most famous pubs to a homemade beef burger with smoked bacon, Nelly's traditional fish and chips, or something from the lunch specials menu, before moving on to hot apple pie with fresh cream or delicious cheese cake.
• Finish things off with a tea or coffee

They don't list their lunch menu or lunch specials online so I'm not sure if it would be advantageous. I'm going to email them for prices. Their Christmas Lunch menu seems quite expensive, and would make this deal a steal. I'm thinking their food runs more expensive. Does anyone know what a lunch entree runs for (in case I don't hear back from them)?

Since you guys are going in May I thought you might be interested in this living social deal too. I am going to miss being able to use it by just a few days since it is not avalible until May and I leave Galaway April 29th. It's for a scenic flight that takes you past the cliffs of Moher and the islands. Link and details are below if you are interested. And thanks Kathy for giving me the heads up about living social in Ireland. I use them and Groupon a lot here at home.

The airport features free parking facilities and a convenient shuttle bus service offers return trips from Galway city centre for just 6.
Available to redeem from May.

An old friend of mine had so much mead at the Bunratty banquet she swore she took the elevator.  She also has a photo of herself sitting on some strange man's lap.  

I will be sure to watch it closely...as it goes down the gullet! ;)

Okay! I'll be careful!!! Tx for the heads up!!! :)
