NIMBUS,
Horsepower was correct in saying that you can obtain them from Transair,however I believe that they are still selling the old 1996 edition,there has been an updated one produced since then (An ex-RAF Woodvale Chippie on the cover) of which I helped to compile.This can be published direct from AOPA at,

AOPA Ireland
Loughlinstown Road
Celbridge
Co.Kildare
Ireland

I think the chart mentioned previously can be purchased from there as well,but I would definately spend an hour laminating it.
If you are planing a trip for a few days,KILRUSH is definately worth a visit it has on-site 4 star self catering apartments available for use,and is ideally located as a base for touring,the guy who runs this is called Ian Valentine a Top Irish Geezza,more details and pictures are available in the new book.
Other places of must visit status are CLONBULLOGUE this is home to the Irish parachute club where you are guarenteed a warm welcome and some top notch cheep grub in there new clubhouse,it is only open at weekends and you MUST call up on the radio(128.55)with 10 minutes to run.
Also the ARAN ISLES are worth a visit if not for the scenary,then to experience a carrier style arrival/departure,but be very cautious!

GOOD LUCK ONCE AGAIN!!!
