Irish gastronomic scene.

Yes indeed, a very famous restaurant. It was started by Darina's
mother-in-law, Molly Allen, many years ago.

Judith, if you get as far as Glengariff there are lovely gardens on
Garnish Island. This time of the year though you wouldn't see it at
its best.

Have a great time :-)
