8 school tours that could only have happened in Ireland

“I can still smell the place”

THE COCA COLA Factory was a staple of many Irish school tours.

So too was The Zoo, the National Stud, Fota Wildlife Park and many other bastions of childhood.

What about these precious, precious memories though?…

I went on a school tour to Quinnsworth in primary school. We met the various managers of various departments. Got to see the stockroom.

We also went to Glenroe Farm and I remember we saw a massive pig. You probably never saw a pig as huge in your life.

My ma packed me a salmon fillet sandwich when we went to Glenroe Farm. It got squashed in my bag + then it got rained on. Ate it.

Genuinely shat myself in the coca cola factory – I had diarrhoea that morning but was so excited about going I still went.
