If there is any excuse for a good time then the Irish people will use it. All over Ireland, in every county, town and village you will encounter a festival or event. The excuse may involve food, art, music, sport, history, matchmaking, agriculture, dancing or just about anything else, and will always end in one astronomical party. So before you arrive in Co. Dublin remember to visit The National Events Calendar at www.irishdays.com.
