      I disagree. I’ve seen some fabulous and (relatively) unique pieces of woodwork and jewellery at the Galway christmas market. There’s plenty of tat too but I’ve not seen jewellery like it at an affordable price anywhere else.

      i bet you can’t maintain this level of enthusiasm for the next 6 weeks frilly. come christmas day you’ll be broke, you’ll have p1ssed off your family and your partner and all you’ll have to show for it is a hangover and a lynx xmas pack.

          come stephen’s day i’ll walk past a figure slumped freezing cold in a doorway somewhere clutching the remains of a 2 litre bottle of snowball, shivering in his vomit-encrusted christmas jumper. he’ll take out a handful of sausage rolls and offer me one in return for a kiss under the mistletoe. i will think of you as i decline, frilly.

    Doesn’t come close to the German christmas markets…e.g. 3 varieties of Glühwein for €2 a mug.

      Thing is, the stalls are mainly run by Germans. But charging twice the amount in Ireland of what they charge in Germany must be a nice little earner for them.

        Sorry Kurtz, did you have your name down to take on the rent of one of these and didn’t get it because of a German…or are you just being Irish and giving out…

        Well cost of travelling here to do business would be more then operating locally, but yes they are taking a little advantage as well.

        No wonder Kurtz put a weed up Broadsheet’s ass. The market is being run by a bunch of four star clowns who are gonna end up giving the whole circus away.

      your comment reminds of that stupid ad for animals being sent to africa you only hear at christmas. that irritating midlands accent going ‘are there yet, are we there yet’.

      my advice to you helen, is to leave it till christmas eve and then go buy as many one 4 all vouchers as you need.

    “Gluhwein as well as other seasonal non-alcoholic drinks.”

    So are there no alcoholic drinks available?

    Not many local crafters/artists could afford to be there 7 days a week for that amount of time. Most are one person enterprises that can’t afford staff for these things.
