I'm from Sligo but not a vegan. Just a vegetarian. I know rakes of veggies round Sligo, don't think I know any vegans though.

I'm from sligo (don't live there) and know about a dozen veggies/vegans from there, since childhood. A birthday party I sometimes go to on a mountain in sligo has dozens of us yokes

Good stuff! I always thought that people might be inclined more towards adopting a veg*n lifestyle if they knew there was a preexisting community there.

I'm a Sligo lass and there was only two vegetarians (nevermind vegans!!) in my school year, where were you all hiding?!

I'm in the UK now though and most of my friends are vegetarians ^^

^^ is more general, but most of the places should offer veggie options i'd say.

I love Poppadom Restaurant, right in the city centre.

Bistro Bianconi have divine pizzas. Also located in city centre!

Did ye try posting on the 'Vegan Sligo' page on facebook? Or just send an email to 'vegansligo@gmail.com'. They are trying to get a group going there with meetups and stuff. I'm sure veggies would be welcome also.

I did yes, so did someone else, but the admin of the group seems a bit busy now to be co-ordinating a meet-up, so if someone wants to step up and organise a lunch meet-up or something it'd be great.
