Hello Todd, I would be based down in outskirts of Cork City, so depending on what dates your around and for how long. I can try and meet up for a Coffee, etc.

Hi Todd, it would be great to meet with Wendy and yourself while you're over, so be sure to keep us up to speed with your exact itinerary. We have a handful of troopers down in Cork and Kerry, but Dublin will probably be the best chance of getting a few of us together. I'm right in the midlands myself, but if I can call out to any of your stopping points then I certainly shall!

Hello! My wife (Wendy, DZ-55547) and I will be visiting Ireland from May 22nd until June 8th. We will be in Dublin at both ends of the trip and doing a van tour in the middle. Would love to see if we can meet up with anyone while visiting your country and trade a little bit of Imperial Sands Garrison swag! If there happen to be any troops planned during our visit, possibly we could help out as handlers/wranglers too. Our tour will visit these cities, in this order: DUBLIN SPANISH POINT, CLARE TRALEE, KERRY KENMARE, KERRY GOUGANE BARRA or MACROOM, CORK KINSALE, CORK Thanks!

Hi Kristina, We look forward to seeing you in June. Do you know Allan Al in your garrison - he has an amazing 000.

Hi Kristina, delighted to welcome any of our overseas members, but even more so when they're Inferno Keep us informed of your plans for when you're over, and hopefully some of us will get a chance to meet with you.

Hey Kristina. Great to see you have finalised your dates. What we will try to do is target meet up in Dublin City centre on 14th of June. I’m not sure what that does to any plans you might have in place, but we can discuss it in the background. We’ve our own garrison chat in the background, so I’ll put this to the crew and hopefully that date suits a few of us to meet up with you. Thanks for the message on the forum! Keith

Hi everyone! I'm Kristina and am a member (and GMBO) of the Empire City Garrison (New York) My father and I will be visiting Ireland (staying in Dublin) from June 11th - June 18th! I've been in contact with Keith over the last month or so regarding meeting up. Would love a chance to grab a pint! I'll be bringing some Empire City Garrison and Hudson Valley Squad merch (patches and coins) if anyone is interested in trading too As of right now we have a couple destinations we'd like to see across the country but our home base will be our hotel in the city If it's easier, I'm active on both Facebook (Kristina Murtha) and Instagram ( @kristinamurtha )

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome!!!! Its going to take a moment to get the funds together to make the trip, and with the job site being a bit wacky, I may just come without the visa (90 day stay,) then find a server job and head over to Immigration to upgrade to a work visa while I try to find a lab looking for help. ANYTHING to speed up the process. Every time I visit the chemists, I use the blood pressure machine and I've apparently been in "fight or flight" mode since January, as my normal (very average) bp of 110/75 has been 149/75. Its a wee bit terrifying to wake up every morning and check the news to see if today is the day I get shipped to an internment camp. Seriously, this place is a feck'n madhouse.

Hey Josh. Was great to meet you on Sunday at DCC. Thanks for your great help!! Looking forward to hearing about what costume you settle on! Welcome to the family my good man!! All the best - Keith.C

Welcome here, Josh & a big thank you for all your help at the table at DCC last weekend. Thanks also for the few video ideas. The Palpatine v Obi Wan Kenobi video will definitely be posted on our social feeds in the near future. I look forward to seeing you at future events.

Welcome Josh, I've already heard that you were a big help at DCC! I look forward to meeting you at a future troop, and don't hesitate to post or message if you have any questions.

Hello Josh, Welcome to the forum, great step with the crewing option. Not only is crewing very important for those of us that cant see very well in kit. It's a great way to get involved, and get to know the wider group. Great choice in the SW movie, would be my favourite also. Empire went undefeated that year.... I look forward to seeing you at a troop at some point. BM

Hello Josh, was great meeting you at DCC and also great to see you on the forums now too. I see our admin has already updated your profile with crew access, so you should be able to see the upcoming calendar of events. If you have any questions around progressing with a kit, definitely let us know!

Hello @Mad Madame Maddie and welcome! We have a number of members within our garrison from different nationalities and look forward to welcoming more. Definitely keep us updated on how things progress and as others above have said, we look forward to meeting you It is very disheartening to see some of the news on a daily basis, but do know that there are also a lot of good people there and hope this… turbulence… does not become part of the daily norm into the future. We look forward to welcoming you in person.

Hi Guys, my name is Josh Lynch. I am from and live in Dublin. I am 27 years old. I have been a huge fan of Star Wars ever since I was a kid. My favourite Jedi has always been Qui Gon Jinn. My favourite Sith Lord has always been Darth Vader. My favorite Star Wars Movie overall is episode 5 the Empire Strikes Back. I would like to ask if I could have Crew Access and join the 501st Legion. It would be an honour and a privilege to work with you all. Helping out at events, dressing up in Star Wars cosplay costumes and helping others by providing them with information about certain things in Star Wars that they might not know about.

Hi Madison, It has been extremely difficult in recent months seeing the struggles of some of our US based friends, and I wish you the best of luck with your relocation plans. Reading the news has been a surreal and shocking exercise even over here lately, so I can only imagine how bad it is in the US itself. Should you make your way over here, you shall of course be more than welcome within our clubs.

Can’t wait to have you over here @Mad Madame Maddie!! Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello @Mad Madame Maddie Much like what @Dropkick stated, you and others are always welcome here in Ireland and the Garrison. It is always a huge step leaving ones home. However I wish you all the best in your plans and hopefully see you here at some point in the year. BM

Hi Madison, Ireland is the land of a thousand welcomes & that also goes for the Ireland Garrison & Ireland Base here. We are sorry to hear daily news of what is happening & we would of course welcome you to both the garrison & base when you arrange transfers from your current garrison & base to here.

Hey all, Madison here. I'm an active member of the 501st, RL, and TDE in (sadly) the US. I'm actually working towards fleeing this dystopian nightmare and seeking asylum on the Emerald Isle, if you'll have me. I've spoken with the consulate, who suggested securing a class b or c visa and then making my declaration once I arrive. It's going to take a bit of time to secure my funds to do so, but if anyone knows of any chem labs looking for technicians, I'd love to hear about it! My goal is to be over there by or before the end of June next year; the sooner the better. My current costumes are TK, Darth Nihilus, custom jedi, custom sith, and if you see my profile pic I'm also Pinkie Pie Stormtrooper. I can't wait to meet you all in person! Also: Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! Hopefully google translate got that right.

Hi Dirk & Jessica, I've sent you a whatsapp message. Hopefully, I should be available tomorrow evening, it it still suited you to meet up for a chat. I'm not sure if anyone else is free to join us, but the more the merrier.

Hi Dirk, I will unfortunately not be in Dublin myself next week, but I hope that you will be able to meet some of our members up there. We'll put a reminder in our group chat in case some members don't see your forum post. Safe travels, Daniel

We stay in Dublin for most of the time. On Wednesday we booked a bus tour for sightseeing of your landmarks. So if we meet up it will have to be in the city.

Hi Dirk, Thanks for the post. Do you just plan on visiting Dublin or will you be travelling around the country? We have members scattered around the country, so if you are travelling, let us know where & some may be able to meet up. I've just sent you a FB request.

Hi Rebels and trooper. I am Dirk, a member off all 3 costume clubs and I am visiting Dublin four 4 days on the 24th of February, next week with my wife.
