  Many of the local pubs offer the opportunity to listen to live Traditional music on a regular basis.
  
  Cork city is a short train ride away and offers an array of cultural and social opportunities.

  Aide

  We are mainly looking for help in the garden and grounds. We would like help with weeding, planting, strimming, cutting grass, collecting firewood etc. We also have a number of other projects like building stone walls, fencing which we would like help with. These will include making some areas to foster new animals from the charity we help.
  
  Ideally we would like someone who would spend some time helping the kids to learn some of your native language. It would be a bonus if you would be happy to help a bit around the house and with the animals.
