    About 20 years ago I stayed in the Wicklow area and am trying to find out the name of the place (if it's still there). It was on the same side of the road as the soliders graveyard. The accommodation was a farm house with two bedrooms and a large kitchen / sitting room area. However across from the farmhouse on the same land was another building which had about 20 bunk beds. It wasn't An Oige Hostel. Any ideas. Thanx.

    The german soldiers graveyard?


    Somewhere near Glencree?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
