Husband and I did visit several places in Ireland more recently and one of my favourite was Cobh, last stop of the ill-fated Titanic. It has such a pretty harbour and the magnificent 19th century Gothic St Colman's Cathedral which sits on the hill overseeing the fishing port. Cobh has a very interesting history which is highlighted in the harbour-side museum.
One of my publishers, Tirgearr, has been invited to showcase all their Irish-set books on the Celtic Rose Blog today, then tomorrow the Scottish-set books will be featured which includes Midwinter Masquerade. I believe our books are getting an hour each to be in the spotlight and mine is around 11am tomorrow - although I imagine they'll all remain on the blog for the day. If you like novels with a Celtic flavour, you might find some to tempt you.

Happy St Patrick's day to you! :-)
We visited Cobh a few years ago. Interestig place.
Thanks, Maria!
It is indeed, Patsy!
I've only been to Ireland once, for a long weekend. I'd love to go back again and take my time exploring it properly.
I've got a lot of Irish blood in me, too. My grandmother was born in Cobh and the family were from Kinsale. I've never been and really need to rectify that fact. x
I'd like to go back too, Julia, as I didn't see enough.
How wonderful that your grandmother was born in Cobh, Debs!
