Thanks for the info, guys!
NegG,
Interesting that you helped to compile Fly-in-Ireland! I assume you are not involved with them any more!
That address is a very old one, and I guess you don't know about the sorry state of AOPA in Ireland now?
They are a very private group now. Not interested in new members and virtually impossible to contact! If you've got any contacts there still, maybe you could tell them to show a little interest in GA?
BTW, I met I.V before, and have to agree with you! I grew up about 4 miles from Kilrush, but I've done very little flying in Ireland. Moved to the U.S.A and got my licences, and 99% of my flying, over here.
Also, I think the occupation and interests listed in your profile are thought-provoking!
