Restaurant review: The Idle Wall, Co Mayo

WESTPORT is one of those towns that everyone in Ireland has visited, and if they haven’t they are probably planning on doing so (and if this isn’t the case then they should get onto it right away).

On a recent break in the ultra-rural wilds of Achill Island myself and the Engineer (both townies) decided we would get a quick fix of the urban side of Co Mayo.

I confess this was mainly for my benefit — herself was less enthused having visited Westport a number of times such is its iconic status within planning and engineering circles.
