I heard they had no toilets last year!!!

 

[Anarcho Munk]

Is anyone from Limerick, Cork, Kerry or anywhere in the South or along the way to Roscommon driving? I'm really stuck for a lift up and it's wrecking my head. If anyone has a spare seat and willing to give me a lift it'd be mucho appreciated! Would throw money towards petrol and such.
