Pros:"the pressance of a higher power is confirmed in its views, the people are nice, there's a pub around every corner, and there is not even a hint of oppressive corporate life"
Cons:"only two taxis on the whole island, you will get suckered into something called "the disco at achill head", and it is bone-chillingly cold and rainy"
In A Nutshell:"Achill is a great place to get lost and commune with some sheep, pub owners, avid local historians, and American archaeological students. Plus, the view is amazing."

 Well, Achill during the summer can be the most beautiful part of the world, but when it rains, it rains (due to the soaring mountains around), fair enough it does rain but its not that bad folks!
