as i always said the west is the best....

"according to the regional tourist authority for Galway, Mayo and Roscommon."

Self praise is no praise. :rolleyes:

[paul_oshea]

....but some praise

its marketing at the end of the day, good ploy though.

Only 20% cheaper? I would've expected much lower tbh....

Doing a midweek in the Slieve Russell later on in the summer actually. Seems more than 20% cheaper than Dublin, so exclude the rip off west and I'd say borders and midlands the places to go :D

Long time since I was last up at the Slieve Russell - used to head up there to the nightclub and the easy Fermanagh women.... :D

Hotels and B&B's in the west are much cheaper than in Dublin :o

About time they dropped their prices

Think its Dublin prices that have gone up :rolleyes:

IMO 20% is not low enough.

Most foreign (especially US tourists) start in Dublin so more demand there.

Rip Off West!

20% cheaper than a rip off is not worth celebrating.
Paul O'Shea do you happen to work for the Western Tourist board by any chance or is that everyone in the West gets a brochure on how to promote the region because when it comes to self praise and promotion ye do a good job!
