The Pally Gally

Just opposite the Town Hall, the Irish Pub and Bradley's English Bookshop is a little encampment of Irish rugby fans. There's a special Guinness caravan with tables and umbrellas and in the courtyard of the Musée des Beaux Arts a little group of motor-caravans with red and green clad campers. At Gambetta the park-cum-roundabout has become a playground where giant fly-half leprechauns gambol with tiny rugby balls. Then you come to the area of the Pally Gally.
