Irish Open is a good time to hit Ireland. Phil Helmuth even mentioned he might play it this year.
Oh and +1 to Jesse May. He made a generous contribution to Niall Smyth's sister's charity last year while he was involved in the Irish Open. He didn't know Niall at the time so I'm guessing it wasn't an isolated incident.
