Hi, we're Brendan and Sandra and we'd love to invite you to our beautiful home in Ireland. Brendan is the Managing Director of his own Healthcare company and Sandra is a Learning Support Coordinator in a private junior school. We have three grown-up children, Gary, Emma and Aly and one beautiful grand-daughter. Our children no longer live at home but are regular visitors! We have a small Bichon dog Pablo, who is a non-shed, hypoallergenic dog but he'll be in kennels during your stay. We would love to share our fabulous home with you and look forward to hearing from you and your family.
