Thanks to all of you for your help. Just thinking about it now, i think i was actually in Douglas before!! I don't remember anything about it, but i did get a 7 there and a i think it was a 19 back, and the 19 seemed to go everywhere. All i remember was the Centra shop at a sort of crossroads where you carry on straight and there's a road to the right aswell (with the centra shop on your left), i think the 7 turned right but i don't know where the 19 came in from cos he got to the stop just before i got there, i remember getting a lovely 99 ice cream cone in the Centra shop, (pretty sure it was Centra, might've been Mace maybe?), i'm not 100% sure if it was Douglas or not but i have a feeling it might've been. That was early Septemeber last, but i didn't stay or do anything in the town, apart from getting an ice cream...long way to go for an ice cream i know!! ha ha, but i just got the ice cream and crossed the road again for the bus back into Cork. I think that might've been Douglas but again i'm not sure.  I checked my diary but i only wrote down SL9 on route 7 and VWL142 on route 19, didn't put in where i went on the city routes, but i think that might be it.

But i am staying overnight in either Cork City or else in Douglas in either a hotel or B&B, i've something to do on Saturday so there's no point going home on Saturday night and back again on Sunday morning so i'm staying over on Saturday night, i presume it will be Douglas and i have yet to make the accomodation arrangements, but i am meeting somebody for lunch in Douglas on Sunday afternoon in a restaurant called Eco's , i think thats the name of it, anybody know it? I presume any of the buses you've mentioned will go close enough to it?? But i'm coming back from Cork to Dublin (and then Dublin to Navan) on Sunday evening. I presume any of the buses you've told me about will get me close to where i'm going, and i didn't realise that there were so many buses serving Douglas. I looked in my Bus Eireann timetable book and on the website but could not get any results at all for Douglas except for route 19, which doesn't run very often.

Thanks a million for all your help men, i appreciate it big time. Cheers.
