I'm not suggesting that for a moment. The point I am making is that foreign ladies with basic english couldn't organise travel and privately rented accommodation in up to a dozen rural Irish towns over 3/4 weeks without 'help'. My observation is that the travel/accommodation is organised for them, bit like the days when we used our Main St travel agents to book our two weeks in 'Terrormolinos'... (€99 specials, they were the days) ..
Think about it... Young foreign lady with no English and no car, can somehow get herself to Roscommon, Westmeath or Sligo, and find a privately owned apartment to rent for 3 days .. !!!! not possible even with airbnb.
