Lough Derg

I only went the once, just after I’d done my first year exams at university. Once was more than enough – it’s not something I’d recommend to someone coming to Ireland on holiday !

Pete McCarthy wrote about it in “McCarthy’s Bar” – the only way to get any enjoyment out of a trip to Lough Derg is to read it !

worth visiting if you like that sort of thing.

Based on an island in the middle of Lough Derg, this is a place of pilgrimage, possibly one of the most severe.
