Family holiday in Ireland

Gonkster

Does anyone know if there is such a place as a "centreparcs" in Ireland (or anything similar of course).
I'm after a reasonably affordable family holiday self-catering perhaps with some sort of on-site facilities like a pool, booze, entertainment etc.
It could even be a big mobile home park perhaps...something like Butlins maybe?
The shannon river barge hires look great...just a pity it's a hefty four figure sum for a big family:)

Nice one! Many thanks for that.
It definitely looks the part, a bit expensive at peak period but the mid-week breaks around september-ish seem good value.
