Halloween in Dublin?
I will likely be in Dublin on Halloween / Samhain this year (2013). I have seen some old information about a can't-miss parade in Dublin on that day, but I can't find any recent information. Does this still occur? If not, any other recommendations for special events that day? Thanks.

Validity of "old" Jersey notes
Going to Jersey in a few days, and sorting my currency collection, I found some leftover one and five pound notes.
These are the pre-2010 generation, serie 3 notes.
A search on the net gives conflicting info...are these notes still currently accepted in shops?
Could I have them exchanged in a bank, or should I scrap them?

Romantic things to do in Donegal
Hello,
I am taking my girlfriend to Ireland for our anniversary in September but am also planning on proposing in the country at that time. We are traveling across the country, but I have decided to propose in Donegal while we are staying at Lough Eske. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about romantic things to do around where we are staying so I can narrow it down. Not familiar with the area at all so any help would be amazing.
Thanks for your help.
