    Irish place names usually emphasise the second syllable over the first so you have Kil-KENNY or Ken-MARE or Kill-ARNEY.

    I live in Ireland and seeing videos like this makes me really appreciate what's on my doorstep. Life can get so busy here that we rarely take time to just explore our own country, which is so sad but true. I'm also a musician and travel round Ireland a lot, but unfortunately most places I go are at night time and I don't see a lot of the towns I'm working in as I usually drive home that night. I live in the republic just beside the Fermanagh border. There are a few castles up here (most are in ruins or burned during the rebellion) some were impressive places. I think its a shame that not many exist now in their full glory and preserved exactly as they were. One famous one is bunratty castle. A definate must see if you ever come back. That castle is exactly as it would have been and little of it is by restoration. Check it out on RUclips. Its a whole village

      I feel the same about the USA and its residents. We get so busy, we rarely take the time to explore our own country haha I've seen 38/50 states, which is likely well above average. lol I will definitely look that castle up, it sounds awesome. I gotta come back asap to drink some beer and whiskey!

      Lincoln Riddle it was good as it saved us from having to do our own history homework. This was in 2011 so I couldn’t tell you how much it was nor the names of the castles and sites we visited.
      Definitely wished we had more than 2 days there.

    And as a side note. Theres a sister castle to Blarney castle about 10 miles away in Dripsey. It's not open to the public but of you ever want the opportunity to take some nice reference photos for landscape painting, the view of dripsey castle in front of the water is one of the prettiest you'll see.

    You drove from Dublin to Kilkenny to Cork? You mentioned the trip, at times, taking over an hour to get from one place to another etc...but, did you stay in Kilkenny overnight since theres lots to see and then drove to Blarney the next day? Or did you do Kilkenny and Blarney in one day and stayed in Cork overnight? I'm thinking of doing something like this in the future but didn't know if I should stay overnight in Kilkenny and Cork or make it a day trip for both.

    Pronunciations were pretty much perfect. You pronounced kilkenny as "kilkinny"......and that's pretty much how a lot of irish people will pronounce it.
    Side note.i had never heard of chipotle sauce when I first went to America years ago. The guy in subway in new Mexico thought my arseways pronunciation was the funniest thing he had ever heard.
