To be fair, it is privately owned and run as a tourist trap site. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
LOL......Tourists are fair game. If they have the means to travel, then it is customary to drop a bit of coin in supporting the local economy. Besides, castles need upkeep and maintenance also. Out of curiosity, did you ever kiss the blarney stone in yon castle?
True. The town would have most likely died without it and it does make for a 'interesting' Summertime. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I kissed it years ago as a child when I didn't actually live here. I don't know if I got the "gift of the gab" from it mind, as I never could shut up to begin with. No neutral data available I'm afraid.
From what I have read of your posts on this forum, you seem to be able to communicate your message adequately. That ability is far more to be valued than 'blarney', in my estimation.
