We were finally able to get back up to Dublin to pick up the visa (had to wait two weeks after the interview seens as I couldn't get time off to travel back there the following week...message to anyone filing in Dublin and who has an interview on Thursday...they don't do any other visa pick ups on Fridays other than students, so be prepaired to go back a week or so later). Anyway, visa is in hand. Now all we have to do is save for a few weeks for the tickets to get out there!
