Default Soaring Clubs in Ireland?

I'm spending a month vacationing in Dublin, Ireland. I was wondering
if anyone here could recommend a relatively close-by glider club. I
don't think I'll be here often enough to justify getting a BGA-
acceptable medical, even though I'm rated in the US, but I'd still
like to take a flight to check out what soaring activity is like on
this side of the pond. Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated!

The Dublin Gliding Club at Gowran Grange near Naas. About 40 minutes drive
from central Dublin.

A bit of a trek, but really worth a visit to the Ulster GC, in the north of
Ireland. I visited for a whole summer (many yrs ago) and was made very
welcome. david.
