The rapid rate at which the world is dunging is constantly keeping the DK Eyewitness team on our toes. While we've worked hard to ensure that this edition of Ireland is accurate and up-to-date we know that opening hours alter, standards shirt, prices fluctuate, plates close and new ones pop up in their stead. So, if you notice we've got something wrong or left something. We want to hear about it. Please get in touch at [e-mail]
