I will be traveling to Ireland from March 29 - April
10 2006 and would like to fly there. Has anyone flown
gliders in Ireland and where? What were conditions
like?

The Dublin GC is a very friendly and helpful bunch of people. They have
(or had in 1990) an airfield near the capital at a place called Naas.
But I didn't fly with them there. They run an expedition to the Dingle
Peninsular in the SW of Ireland every Autumn, where they launch their
gliders by car tow, in the hope of catching the wave set up by the local
mountain range, Magillcuddlies Reeks In 1990 I and a friend took a
Skylark 4 there, but no wave. No rain either, but a very good trip.
