It is always a good idea to plan ahead, so make sure you organise everything with your host family before leaving. In addition to the pleasant Irish culture, the stunning views and ancient history of the country will provide a rich background for any visitor.

Good healthy natural food is the normal diet here, but families will provide special diets for students who might need them.
