[NAGDU] Ireland

[Gabriel Moloney]

Good day Tracy
Glad you enjoyed your time in Ireland or as we Irish say “the ole sod”.  Delighted to hear that you had no access issues, while traveling, Galway is a nice city full of history.  Sorry to hear that you sprained your ankle two days before you left.  There is plenty to do in Ireland and some great spots to visit.
cheers
Gabriel
