S2031 Merry Ploughboy

Maybe if we move on again, we'll get some space?

No. And even though the two bus loads that arrived here, another show bar, were directed upstairs; there wasn't even a perch in here. But there was a covered smoking area - and a vastly larger partially covered, but still completely soaked one, that looks from Streetview to have been built for the 'outdoor summer' of 2021.

This trip was never about finding a nice comfy pub to sit down in, it was to tick places that are harder to get to public transport - and despite the large bus park here, you can't get here easily on regular buses - there are eight services a day to/from Dundrum Luas stop on weekdays and zero on weekends.

It also wasn't about watching the rugby match, which was creating much of the demand in the pubs; and ended badly while we were standing inside the pub before heading outside. At least the ticking trip was a success.
