Yeah carrick is stag & hen central these days - was dragged down in last march for one. Couldn't bloody move for all the stag and hen parties - not particularly nice to be honest, there were plenty of fights amongst the locals and some of the stags. Still - not much else going on in that mangy backwater, guess they have to get the money and fun in somehow.
As mentioned already though, the Oarsman do Hooker, so park yourself in there and you'll be fine. Sure no-one else will even remember if you were with them or not!
