I would question tu154's advice on flight plans. We have been told to file flight plans for EVERY flight. be it from airport to airport, or farmers field to farmers field and VFR or IFR. Special Branch is also needed on all flights from the UK in Northern Ireland and from Northern Ireland in Southern Ireland (and vice versa)
Great scenery though and the maps of the south are not at all helpful as tu154 states (we'll agree onm that bit!!
).
Would also agree with steering clear of Dublin airport. Not very GA freindly and that wait for fuel can be long (1.5 hours for my last visit there with fuel booked in advance!!)
