What Is The Best Way To Get Around Ireland?

I love Ireland for many reasons: its history is instructive about the value to dignity, respect, and freedom. The Irish writers are a genre to themselves, linguistically eloquent, fiercely honest, sweetly forgiving. But the people of Ireland are the best of the best: smart, humble, gracious, funny, extraordinary - Suzy Hallock-Bannigan

Do You Know These Rude Irish Place Names?

Ireland is world-renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and historic landmarks. However, among the rolling hills and charming villages, there are some place names that stand out—not for their beauty or history—but because they sound rather rude or hilariously inappropriate in English. Though these names often have deep Gaelic roots, their English interpretations sometimes result in unintentional humor. Let’s explore some of the funniest and rudest Irish place names, and uncover their original meanings.

County Cork Ireland Things to See and Do

County Cork covers much of Ireland’s southwest. Its capital, Cork, is known for St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, a neo-Gothic structure with tall spires and stained-glass windows. Across the River Lee is the castle-like Cork City Gaol, built in the 19th century. Northwest of Cork is the 15th-century Blarney Castle, home to the Blarney Stone, which is said to give the “gift of the gab”, or eloquence, to those who kiss it.
