  Description

  We are a family living on a small beautiful island off the coast of West Cork, Ireland. We were former International School teachers and we run a pub now. We would like you to help us in the springtime when we are mostly busy with our outdoor areas for some painting and gardening projects. When the business picks up, there's a chance to work inside with the customers or behind the scenes. You'll eat with the family and hang out as little or as much as you like with us. You'll be introduced to the local people and attend community events, it's a very friendly island.
  
  Update... We are now looking for an experienced bar person and an experienced cook, preferably who come as a pair and can share accomodation. This is available for the summer season, from the end of May until the end of August/September.
