Plans begin in earnest with a series of town-hall style meetings for The Gathering 2013

ignore bythebay, he has no joy in his life other then complaining about anything and everything here at Irish Central. He cannot grasp a town hall style meeting is nothing more then a group of people getting together to discuss something- which apparently never happens in Ireland, ever.

I know people want to go to Ireland from the southwest but perhaps Tourism Ireland would enhance its stature if they could make arrangements for airline flights to Ireland from the major hubs in the soouthwest instead of having to go to the eastern seaboard. In addition Tourism Ireland needs to go outside its comfort zone to visit the major population centers to promote this.

How the heck would you know what Ireland does! You claim to live in NI -the UK!

Repeat, Irealnd doesn't do Town Hall-Style meetings! No wonder Americans are so confused!

You byethebutt can't understand -Headline says Town Hall "Style" as style that you don't show much of with your sissy rants!

You Americans apparently can't understand anything unless it's translated into something in the US. Ireland doesn't have town hall meetings or town hall style meetings. Those are in the US.
