Brendan Murphy

The West Coast of Ireland

*Here is yet another true story from my ‘Chef Explorer Series’. The ‘Wild’ West of Ireland One Irish summer, we of an ancient Murphy clan were living in England for a while and had decided on packing up our campervan and driving over the Irish Sea (via a ship of course!) To catch up with some long lost Irish cousins, out in the west coast of the beautiful Emerald Isle in County Mayo. It was quite a drive, especially with two toddlers in the back, but we plodded on determinedly, through the great capital of Dublin and across the river Liffy heading forever west, until I could not stand it anymore, and stopped in Longford for my first pint of the creamy luxurious Guinness.
