		<description><![CDATA[I remember when I got my learner’s permit at age 16 in the States. It was an exciting thing since where I lived you could take the written theory test at age 15 years and nine months then take the driving/road test when you were 16 years old. Now, many years later, I am going through the process again to be able to drive in Ireland. Though I possess a valid U.S. driver’s license, as a resident I need an Irish permit to drive here as there is no option to convert my American permit for an Irish one. If you’re from an EU/EEA country, that might be possible for you so pursue that using this form. “American citizens are permitted to drive with a U.S. driver's license for the duration of a visit to Ireland; i.e., as long as their status is that of tourist and not resident. Once you decide to become resident in Ireland, regardless of how long you have been in the country, you must apply for an Irish driver's license.”

There are several steps in the process to earn an Irish driver’s permit and this doesn’t even consider the steps required to purchase/own a vehicle. Here are FAQs for your reference. Below, I’ve detailed the steps with details and links to make it simpler for you. <a href="http://slaintecork.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/getting-a-provisional-learners-driving-permit-in-ireland/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slaintecork.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5032678&amp;post=2883&amp;subd=slaintecork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went to Galway last weekend for the 2010 Galway City Marathon. Sponsored by the Radisson Blu, the race brought visitors to the city and because the Radisson's room rates are a bit dear, all the lovely B&#38;Bs and guest houses in Galway played host to runners. We found a sweet spot with WiFi, off-street parking, and a room fit for a family. Planning ahead, we drove up the day.

The morning felt crisp, but that quickly changed to warm sun then rain then more sun. The start of the race was delayed due to some logistical issue, but fitness leaders pepped the runners on until the race began. Runners definitely were faced with a challenge when it came to the weather, but also the course. <a href="http://slaintecork.wordpress.com/2010/09/04/galway-city-marathon/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slaintecork.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5032678&amp;post=2674&amp;subd=slaintecork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Here are some common myths other countries believe about the Irish and how true they are written by an outsider who’s now a little more of an insider. <a href="http://slaintecork.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/myths-about-ireland/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slaintecork.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5032678&amp;post=2837&amp;subd=slaintecork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The day started off with a crash - of carrot/peach juice in my grocery tote, leaking onto my trench. I should have known to crawl back into bed right then and guard myself against the fates. But when my husband and I decided that three years was long enough and it was time to upgrade mobile phones to the iPhone 4, I was willing to wait outside the 3 store on Patrick’s Street to make it happen. Or at least try.

We arrived a couple minutes before 10:00 p.m. for the midnight launch. The roped off section in front of the store was empty. We started the queue. After two hours, there were about 50 people there. The turning point came when the 3 staff asked the crowd ‘who has reference numbers?’ What’s that? Though it was poorly publicized, reference numbers were given to certain interested consumers allowing them to essentially skip the queue to reserve an iPhone. Half of the waiting crowd...
