Seeking shelter part 3

Looks like the plan will be to wait and find housing once I'm there. I've researched it enough to be comfortable that there's no crunching shortage, and to have an idea of what a reasonable price to pay will be, so I think it will be better to try and find something that'll be a known commodity by that point, rather than going site unseen.

I'll probably take a first week early on and rent a car and investigate Galway and the surrounding areas a little more, although I may also take a look and see what's available in Westport. I really enjoyed that town a great deal before.

There's also a chance that something will come up in Clare during my first week (The plan is to spend the first week I'm in the country at The Flowing Tide Music School in west Clare), although it seems broadband access is still pretty rare in all but a few towns in Clare, and that's unfortunately going to be my one modern convenience requirement.
