Murphy's Bar and Pub in Killarney, Ireland
Killarney is stunning and we couldn't believe the amount of tourists (both foreign and locals) walking the streets. Of course, Ireland has designated 2013 as The Gathering to bring emigrated Irish, anyone with a touch of Irish in their blood and travelers who just want to see Ireland. Chicago's Mayor Daley used to say, On St. Patrick's Day, everyone in Chicago is Irish.
Sunny Bank B&B owner Brendan suggested Murphy's Bar and Pub for a fast sandwich. Marine and I entered, sat and had a delightful conversation with owner Sean Murphy (what else), delicious soup and sandwich; our first, but not last Bar/Pub experience in Ireland.
Roadtrip Ireland
A collection of snaps & stories from our trip to Ireland, from Dublin to Kiltyclogher & back. A bit of an experiment with vertical video for me, but it turned out how I wanted it more or less :). Enjoy!
Askeaton Castle. Limerick, Ireland.
General views of Askeaton Castle. Dating from 1199, here's some info from wiki:
Among the many historic structures in the town are a Franciscan Friary dating from 1389 and a castle dating from 1199. The castle was abandoned to crown forces in 1580 - its walls blown up by the fleeing Alien defenders - after the fall of Carrigafoyle Castle to the English during the Desmond Rebellions.
This is a very interesting town just off the main road. Well worth stopping by for a few hours. Very interesting historical sites combined with a town that doesn't seem to have been ruined by recent developments.

irelands eye
is a small uninhabited island off the coast of County Dublin, Ireland, situated directly north of Howth Harbour.In Celtic times the island was called Eria's Island. Eria was a woman's name and this became confused with Erin, derived from Éireann, the Irish name for Ireland. The Vikings substituted the word Island with ey, their Norse equivalent, and so it became known as Erin's Ey and ultimately Ireland's Eye. The island was also known formerly as Inis Faithlenn.[2][3]
The island was the original site of the village's church, and also an early element of the Howth estate when the St. Lawrence family took over the area.
The ruins of a Martello tower and an 8th-century church (the Church of the Three Sons of Nessan)[4] are the only signs of previous habitation. The church functioned as parish church for Howth until recent centuries, eventually being replaced by a church in the village due to the limitations of having to take a boat for every service. The Martello Tower, built in 1803, was one of three constructed in Howth on the instructions of the Duke of York to repel a possible invasion by Napoleon. Its window entrance, 5 metres above ground level, can be accessed by a rope that hangs down from the window.
