Photograph of the above is of the Haven Hotel, Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, a place of tranquility and peace, a place where film "Echoes" was filmed in 1987 and has never been the same since. Took a trip there on Easter Monday to relive some happier memories but it appeared some of the guests decided to have their refreshments outside and then it hit me...the smoking ban. What a joy to enter the hotel without the smell of fags all over the place. Have a look below at one local!!
