A lovely small, unique and quirky shop with a very personal service. Although it is small, it is packed with the most gorgeous unusual Italian quality clothes at really good prices. I bought a lovely jazzy brightly coloured top that goes so well with a number of skirts and trousers etc that I already had in my wardrobe, also a pair of black cropped light weight trousers trimmed at the pockets and leg ends, plus the a pair of the best fitting jeans I have ever owned! - all Italian designer makes, fabulous quality and very reasonably priced. So for something different for the summer season that suddenly seems to have arrived, pop into Tulip in Woodquay - you cant miss it as the outside of the shop is festooned with arty tulips - I would highly recommend it.

He explains things in a way that actually makes sense and gives you loads of confidence on the road. Gerard never made a big deal out of mistakes, just talked me through everything and kept the lessons relaxed but focused. Every session I walked away feeling more prepared. If you're thinking about doing your truck licence, go with Gerard. Absolute gent and a brilliant instructor. Cheers for all the help, Gerard!

I had earlier passed the place up because it claimed it was the best shop in Ireland and I was dubious Shouldn't have been dubious! The owner explained that many of the cutsie tourist places gave tour bus drivers a big kickback (not to mention how much Chinese stuff gets slipped in and represented as Irish),Joyce's didn't so none stopped there. Their loss! This place has the coolest, most authentic stuff. And a great owner and staff to guide you through it Believe their sign!
