If you’re a Barack Obama fan, this is the location for you! The village of Moneygall is his mother’s ancestral home, which appears to be the source of great local pride. There is even a statue of him and Michelle at the local ‘Barack Obama Plaza’ petrol station. Whilst a recreation of a Predator drone strafeing a Yemeni wedding procession probably would have been a truer representation of his legacy I guess that have probably required too much bronze.
Anyway, the hosts were very nice, the apartment was comfortable and clean and the location is genuinely great logistically for motorway access and fuel if you’re travelling further afield.
