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
