hello all Irish HP members!
I visited Ireland when I was a teenager (stayed for whole summers), in particular the Cork, Dublin and Tralee areas and - as strange as it may sound - my most wonderful memories are from the Cork area (a small village south of Cork city).
I am thinking of visiting again because I can feel a pull to be there again!
Does anyone of you have some opinions about Cork city and the area around it?
In parallel, I wonder how welltherapies are doing there...
many thanks to you all.
RE: love Ireland/visit to Cork
Hi Fadette,
I am living in Cork city. From Dublin, but "emigrated" here last year after living in just about every corner of the country. They say it is a different country from the rest of Ireland.
I love it. Very different ... distinct. The locals call it "The People's Republic of Cork". West Cork is a world apart.
Liking Guinness helps too, always good craic.
Therapies are strong, I am in college doing a 2 year ITEC course. There are 100 in the year with 400 applying!! Lots of practitioners! Says a lot ... takes time to build up business.
Lemme know if you make it here
j..mmmm

Synchronicity....I have been looking at property prices in Ireland on the web, my hubby wants to retire to Ireland in a few years. We have never been but have been looking around Ennis, Doolin area because of the attraction to traditional music. Have you been to this area, or where would you recommend? (His great grandparents came from Sligo.)

hello and thanks for your inspired message! it made my day![sm=jump2.gif]
There's something that worries me a bit in what you said: if 100 graduates in holistic therapies emerge each year from the College: is there still a market for it? Cork is not the size of New York or Tokyo, so it worries me that I will be just another unemployed therapist there.
Many thanks.
