Which part of Ireland is he in? Do you plan to travel around the country, or stay close to his home base? You can see some of the weavers at work, check out the warping room, etc. at the Avoca Woollen Mills in the town of Avoca, Co. Wicklow. There are a few other Avoca stores in Ireland. Heck, there's even an affiliated store here in the States, in Annapolis, MD. You'll find the weavers and displays *in* Avoca, though. If you've ever watched the BBC show "Ballykissangel," Avoca's a nice stop, too, because it served as the model for the village of Ballyk, and a lot of the exterior shots were filmed there. If you drive the countryside at all, you'll see lots and lots of sheep. I suspect that's not what you're looking for, though... ;-) I just found this link and haven't had a chance to really *look* at it...I think it's a list of yarn shops...
