Details of the upcoming meeting in Limerick, Ireland, June 2-3, are given in the newsletter.

Further details on accommodation, from Tim Hall

Near the university there is only the Kilmurry Lodge and the Castletroy

Park

Hotel (Expensive) http://www.castletroy-park.ie/. There's lots of B&B

accomodation, but a better option might be to stay in town - nearer a

better

selection of pubs and restaurants.

I would recommend the Sarsfield Bridge hotel, http://www.tsbh.ie/ (I

already

recommended this to George Bekiaridis).

Other convenient (and large) hotels are Royal George

http://limerick-ie.hotels-x.net/Royal-george-hotel.html or in the old dock

area The Clarion Hotel

http://limerick-ie.hotels-x.net/Clarion-hotel-limerick.html or Jurys Inn

(fixed room rate hotel)

http://limerick-ie.hotels-x.net/Jurys-inn-limerick.html. All these are

within easy walking distance of each other and are central.

The University is about three miles away with an OK bus service and taxis

are not too expensive.

For those staying the weekend I recommend visiting the Burren - limestone

upland area north west of Limerick in County Clare with amazing flora at

its

most spectacular in late May and early June, interesting villages with

good

pubs, spectacular coastline, good traditional music and lots of megalithic

and early Christian remains. Start from Ennistymon, Corofin, Kilfenora,

Liscannor, Doolin http://www.kingsway.ie/doolin/ (for music and the Aran

Islands) http://www.bamjam.net/Ireland/Burren.html
