Shopping is part of the fun of touring Ireland.
In March 2006, National Geographic Traveler Magazine named Pat to its "Panel of Shopping Experts" on its online World Shopping Guide (Pat contributed shopping tips for Ireland). So Pat is widely recognized as a leading source for shopping information about Ireland.
From Dublin to Donegal, Galway to Glendalough, and all over Ireland, great shopping buys await you. Ireland is known for its many fine products and crafts — from Waterford Crystal, Galway Crystal, Belleek China, and Irish Dresden, to hand-woven tweeds, Aran hand-knit sweaters, Claddagh rings, and much more. Shopping is part of the fun of touring Ireland. And knowing where to go is the key to smart shopping.
