My other half is organising a stags in Galway, of course i get drafted in and he does all the credit. He is looking for some things to get the group together. The only thing i can come up with is going to the dogs (whoopi). Paintball the nearest seems to be Limerick, and Go-Karting seems to be non-existant except for a kiddies track.

Anyone any suggestions please??

Deep Sea Fishing. you get a great price and a 1/2 day at sea, visit Aran Islands, bbq the fish on the boat. picks up from the Docks.
Go Karting at Pallas, near Loughrea. biggest outdoor track in Europe (don't know if that's true though)
Boat trip to Aran Islands, cycle around
Afternoon at Pure Skill, indoor sports place where you can have a go at 10 different sports (google it)
If going to the dogs can get a good rate for sit down meal.
Shooting range
Clay pigeon shooting
Bowling if want something 'quieter' (I guess not)
check out what comedy is on

there's a lot of nice pubs in Galway (O connells on Eyre Square etc)
For dinner Cactus Jacks is good for a group I think.

there is a sticky at the top of the page, some good suggestions in there.

There is shooting down at the Glenlo Abbey. Real rifles are used. Its expensive and you need a party of at least seven, but its good fun.

Don't knock the dogs,it's a great night out, betting, beer and good food if you fancy a quality sit down meal for decent value. They're good at catering for groups aswell.

Galway Greyhound Stadium is also just a few mins walk from Eyre Square on College Rd.
