When I was in Ireland last fall I kept asking the Guide if there were any quilt shops in Ireland but he didn't know and said to check the stores. Well we were never "down town" enough for me to find anything though I got a couple linen "souvineer" doilies at Blarney Castle stores. I know some quilting groups have gone to Ireland but where I will never know and am sure I won't get back there so I missed my chance. Hope our tour guides are better informed this time.
