Yet again, Hickeys has lived up to its reputation for great reasonably priced drink, great craic and entertainment as provided by the clientele in the great pub that Pat and Dave and the other boys run. Year after year, time after time, night after night it gives you what you want from a holiday! A nice place to meet new people, old friends, have a bit of banter and sing a few songs and be well looked after by Pat and the lads. And it’s the go to bar for watching sport, particularly GAA. At this stage it’s like a friends reunion no matter what week of the year you go back to Hickeys. As Pat says every week is like having old friends come to visit, with new friendships being made, and all this goes to make Hickeys very special. Be prepared for late nights!!! Don’t be afraid to start or join in the sing song, everyone joins in!!! If the RiRa Agus Ruaile Buaile isint for you then there’s the quite upstairs terrace to relax on. Enjoy Hickeys...........Probably............Best..........????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Really reliable firm. We used them last year for a few transfers including moving from resort to resort to twin centre the holiday as well as transfers and trips to waterparks and this year I had a set of complicated transfers, 9 in total,some transfers some movements between resorts every one faultless. I can not recommend them highly enough, I know even when pushed they will never leave you stranded. Highly recommended.
