We are always interested to see what visitors and tourists think about Ireland, what experiences they’ve made when they visited or even lived on the Emerald Isle and what their recommendations for future visitors might be. You might remember our French Hotelsireland.com colleague Alice who came to us (and Ireland) about a year ago and shared her experiences with us in her blog posts. She will be leaving Ireland soon to go back to France and we took the opportunity to ask her some questions about her experiences here on the Emerald Isle.
