We used this book as a guide for our Ireland trip May 2008. It helped us before the trip to know where to go especially the "off beaten" paths of the country.

I review the updated copy of this each year and think they could have put more maps and photos in. Also, they tend to highlight the well known restaurants and not the local places, which I always thing are the hidden jewels in each country.

I used Frommer's and Fodor's both for my recent Ireland trip. I think Frommer's had better detail about sights, for example more accurate times when the sites were open.
