Irish Censorship

February 26, 2009

Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge

February 15, 2009

The bridge was closed.  Why?  Because it is winter…
It seems that during the time of the celtic tiger Ireland stopped giving a toss about tourism, perhaps that will change.  We were down in Kerry on another weekend and the tourist offices had closed for the season – it was September.
