Hi,

I've been living in Leiden for the last two months, working away here and wondering if there are many other Irish here now (I see some responses from before, but no contact information!).

Also, I'm trying to keep up my Irish while I'm here, if there are any Gaeilgeoirs around in the country, it would be great to meet up for some comhra.

colm -AT- stdlib.net is me.

Hi Colm,

Not just yet, but I'll be moving to Leiden within the next month or so if you're still stuck for someone to have a pint with! I know you posted this months ago, but still I thought I's send a wee reply anyway!

Stay frosty,

If you are interested there is a good group of Irish playing gaelic football and hurling in the Hague, we are based all over this bit of the Netherlands, Leiden, the Hague, Utrecht, Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam.

There is training 2 times a week and we play tournaments every couple of weeks. If you want to find out more check out www.irishclub.nl/gaa or give me an email, at lchocker@yahoo.com for training times etc.

do any of you know if there is any jobs going over there. i used to work in holland . i presume it would have to be factory or labouring work cos i dont speak dutch. would appreciate a response

The new GAA site is www.denhaaggaa.com

Hi Colm,

Ta Gaelige agaim, ach dearfainn go bhfuil se saghas rusty. Nilim in Leidin, taim in Utrecht ach bh'feidir go bualfimid ait eigin ar aon nos.
