JJ Kavanagh & Sons Dublin Kilkenny recent customer reviews
Did not enjoy the map with the pin as the pin shows the wrong side of the street for pick up. Also, it would be beneficial to explain where to look on the bus stop signs for the JJ pick up. First timers to Ireland aren’t used to knowing where to look for street info either (on the side of buildings).
