All activities will take place in the Listowel Arms Hotel. With 40 rooms, this establishment is bigger than the hotel used for this year’s tionól, so it should be able to accomodate all wishing to attend the event. The hotel is offering a package of two nights B+B and one evening meal for €125 per person shar- ing. We would encourage members to book early to avail of this offer. Bookings should be made through NPU.
