Actually Grogans was the name of the pub in question. It features in Flann O'Briens novel 'At Swim Two Birds' if you are interested in more odd (and most excellent) books. I don't think you need to worry too much about the certification thing Brian. Generally if you can string a sentence together and resist the urge to brain the nearest child with a lump of wood then you'll do for teaching over here.

And so I immediately thought back to that night at Drogan's, which I do quite often anyway. If you come up with any magical plan to get me work over there, let me know ASAP. I sent off my info to see if I can get "certified" to teach in Ireland, but I'm not optimistic.
