Headed to Dublin in July and hoping to get some jumps in. Anyone jumped in Ireland or have any info about the DZs close to Dublin? Found the website for one but looking for any personal experience.

Thanks!

im from ireland and started my jumping here

the biggest dz in the republic is the irish parachute club and that is probably the website you found http://www.skydive.ie/ the other dz in the republic is called skydive ireland http://www.skydiveireland.ie/

they are a far newer dropzone but its were i started jumping and i like it everyone is really friendly and imsure they would love to get some travelling jumpers up there, it is about 2 hours from dublin. iv never jumped at the ipc and im not sure how far from dublin it is it could be around the same.

i dont think either of these dzs are open full time but open friday saturday sunday, the ipc might be open thursdays too
the other dz in ireland is in northern ireland called the wild geese iv never jumped there but if you google it you should get their website

Hi,
as DARK mentioned, there are two DZ in Ireland.

One Cessna 182 DZ in Nenagh, near Limerick --> http://www.skydiveireland.ie

The other, bigger, DZ is the IPC in Clonbullogue --> http://www.skydive.ie
It takes me about 45min. from North Dublin to the DZ.
The IPC is opened from Thursday to Monday and they have a nice Porter.

When are you going to be in Ireland? There is the Irish Boogie going on from July 24th till August 3rd. More infos here --> http://www.skydive.ie/boogie2009

cheers,
Bjoern

Hi J

The irish parachute club is about 50min from Dublin City by car. (a lot longer by public transport). As people said there is a boogie running for the last 10 days in July. They are bringing over a skyvan, 2 dorniers and a caravan. There will bigway camp and coaching, I think members of babylon freefly team are coming for coaching also and wingsuit and crw coaches also. Plus loads of parties and beer.

Check out

and boogie information on

If you are not around for the boogie the club is open Thursday - Monday but can be quiet enough on the weekdays.
