this offer is 6 nomths old now.... surley they have found the 5 people by now

With each voucher you claim, 5 people can travel and stay up to 5 days.

I've just had my third voucher, used one for 4 of us to cross to Ireland free, and stayed 3 nights in a B&B. I gave the other two to friends.

As I live near an Irish ferry port, I haven't used them for the France trips at all.

Mine arrived yesterday, now just need to find out when Dd and Ds get a teacher training day, organise OH to book hol, sort out accomodation (any suggestions)
and we're off. Excited already. Any tips from anyone where to go, what to do etc especially something that will apeal to two teenage goths and a toddler. Obviously Guiness would figure largely in my plans but with toddler and teens in tow will have to ration self.

I don't know much about 'Goths' my Dd is still only six but for some unfathomable reason I have the idea that it's often cleverer kids that have a leaning towards this style! If your pair might be interested in history and or poetry with a mysterious / tragic air then Dublin is a great place to get a feel for the roots of conflict in Ireland and for the poetry of WB Yeats. Dublin still bears physical scars from the 1916 Easter rising, Kilmainham jail , the execution site of the ringleaders ( one of whom was shot tied to a chair as he was too badly injured to stand ) is open to the public and its presented with haunting simplicity. Yeats comments directly on these events in some of his poems and his own private life complete with desperate unrequited love is pretty interesting. Now I've made Dublin sound so miserable you will probably want to give up and try Euro Disney instead

Oops think I got confused and mistakently thanked Alison who was quoting Toozie's link so then had to go back and thank Toozie directly. Mind you, thinking about what Alison's Goths might like in Dublin has given me an idea to go there for my 40th in the Summer so I reckon she deserves a thank you for that :-)

You will need a passport for France - they check everyone on the vehicle - been on a trip with 12!

I did read in the Daily Mail that it can be cheaper to get 2 day returns, even if going for a week or whatever and just use them separately.
