Glad you enjoyed your stay, all the Motherwell I encountered were great people and I heard no bad stories about ye, only good. Sligo is classed as a border county and thus is in the region with the worst economy in Ireland, house prices are among the cheapest I think maybe 5 or 6th least expensive of 26 counties in ROI.. other west coast towns further south are regarded as more desirable but there is none of them football towns.
