St Patrick's Day

I really cant believe that it is the beginning of March tomorrow and I am already being asked to book people in for for St Patrick's Day.

Of course we are going to have the usual Traditional Irish Music in Premier Bar in the Afternoon with Gale Force which is always a hit.

On top of that this year our Bar Staff have come up with a hooray of cocktails to suit the occasion.

For the smaller supporters of our patron saint there is face painting and colouring.

But if you do have suggestions be sure to let us know...

A Happy Valentine's Day indeed

Whilst the rest of us were thanking our lucky stars for all the cards, chocolates and flowers a certain couple were thankful to be alive. Their car was hit by a train yesterday afternoon after a previous driver left the level crossing gate open. Quick thinking saved the day and the couples car was hit at the front only with both of them and the 170 passengers walking away without a scratch.
Now thats a story to tell the grandkids...

The World's first Interactive Cemetery Museum

At the Marketing Agency at the 2011 Satellite Broadband Ireland Digital Media Awards, which were presented at a ceremony in the Convention Centre on Friday evening Martello Media won the Best Digital Design for a project with the Glasnevin Museum.

Martello implemented the world's first interactive cemetery museum, showing the social, historical, political and artistic development of modern Ireland through the seven generations of people buried there. The company took the overall prize as it received most marks from each of the 20 judges.

The Museum- a stone's throw from the Ardmore Hotel is well worth a visit.

Celebrations in Waitangi

This picture was taken in Northland on Waitangi day where people in New Zealand celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Thankfully for St Patrick's Day one of the most popular traditions is to go to the Parade, enjoy the festival and head to the local for a couple of pints of the good stuff.
To wake us up in the afternoon on the 17th of March we have traditional Irish Music in Premier Bar- no swim suits necessary to celebrate here..

Romance is alive and kicking in Ireland

We were beginning to get a bit worried as we hadn't had many people mention Valentine's Day, but fear not ladies Romance is alive and kicking in Ireland. In typical male style we have been inundated today with Boyfriends and Husbands calling to arrange something special for that someone special..

And why not? With our Wine and Dine Menu of €59.00 per couple including a bottle of wine you can dine in Cream Restaurant without breaking the bank.
