Flying in Ireland

Hey all,

I've been following this forum for quite a while and appreciate the
views and discussions that appear from this group. I've been able to
learn a lot from this group.

That being said....

Does anyone have experience flying in Ireland? I recently got my PPSEL
ticket, and I have an Irish nephew who really wants to go flying. I'll
be headed over there in August, and was wondering if anyone was familiar
with any good FBO's or have any experience with flying there with a FAA
issued license. Does anyone know if they follow CAA or ICAO standards?
Any restrictions to flying there?

Any help would be appreciated! If not newsgroup worthy, please send me
an e-mail (with the nospam removed).

Thanks

Len
