Ireland: HOTELS

Follow the (Celeb) Stars

…at Home!

     Celebs!... Hello, Heat, VIP, OK, newsstands grown under them, so much so that there isn't room for a decent magazine. Where's History Ireland, National Geographic Traveller, Senior Times? And channel-to-channel celebrity game shows on TV, where....I'd be hard pressed to even recognize one. A lists, B lists, even Z list personalities. Don't get me going! So why on earth this piece on celebs visiting Ireland? Well I reckon any excuse is good for a break and if it's good enough for them it's certainly good enough for me. The nice people at www.hotels.com sent us this list of stars that have recently graced our shores, and where they stayed.
