Scoil Mhuire on School Road in Lahinch, Co. Clare, hosts an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Saturday at 8.30pm, giving this well-known surfing town on the Atlantic coast its own weekend meeting. It is a closed meeting, intended for people with a desire to stop drinking, following AA's traditions rather than being open to the general public, though anyone genuinely unsure whether this applies to them should still feel able to attend. Members share their experiences and support each other in the standard AA way, without professional facilitation. Lahinch draws plenty of visitors through the summer, and this Saturday evening slot may suit both locals and those staying nearby for a break. There is no cost to attend and no booking system, with the meeting run entirely by its own members.
Can visitors to Lahinch attend this meeting?
Yes, anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome, whether local or visiting the area, since the meeting simply requires that shared reason for attending.
Is there a fee or do I need to book?
No, it is free and there is no booking process, you can simply come along on Saturday evening.
Is Scoil Mhuire wheelchair accessible?
This has not been confirmed, so it is worth contacting the group beforehand if step-free access is needed.
