All the counties on the west coast are fantastic. Ireland be great if we could just rid of everything east of them.

They do a good rally in May. Molls gap is some stage.

I believe The Backwards Man was up Moll's Gap with his sausage roll?

Apart from the National Park with its lakes and woodlands, the Reeks, Mangertons and Purple Mountain ranges, the mountain passes like the Gap of Dunloe and Molls Gap, waterfalls like Torc and O'Sullivans Cascades, the outdoor activities like climbing, hiking, cycling, kayaking, swimming, golf on one of the great courses in Ireland, the castles, manor houses, the town park, the architecture like Pugin's Cathedral, the hotels, restaurants and pubs, the INEC, the various festivals...sfa.

Killarney town is tweefully bad. Most that other stuff is outside the shakedown of Killarney town.

Im going to the bikefest in June. That looks good.

Dan Linehan's, Bombay Palace and the Brehon are the only good things

I love Killarney,you hear the odd rumbling that the locals are a bit up their own arses,but I personally never found that to be the case.It is a great mix of locals and Tourists from Ireland and abroad.
Being a Town designed to cater for people it punches well above it's weight when it comes to dining and socialising-as was said earlier-compare it to any other Town or 12,000-14,000 inhabitants and you are spoiled for choice with activities and Concerts,something planned by the Town council and business' to make sure that whenever people visit,there will Always be something to do/see, of course your average mong here sees that as "gouging" or "rip-off"-well that's fine,stay away,better for all involved.

Who the hell cares if shops sell Aran sweaters and postcards of "Auld Ireland"-they sell it because it sells,people seem to enjoy buying it,would you prefer them to sell somthing that loses them Money?The exact way that I don't mind O'Carrolls or the Lepreuchaun museum in dublin sending out hoardes of people in lepreuchaun hats and tam o' shanters,people come and willingly part with their Money-tourism is an industry as many dolts seem to forget.

Finally,as to the whole thing about Calling the locals "imbread"(sic),considering the amount of English,Welsh,French,Dutch,German,Swedish,Spanish,American,Polish,Estonian,Czech etc. etc. people that have been living there for a long time-the genetic traits of your average Killarney person may well be more diverse than the accusers home areas.

Killarney Rocks.

The scenery and within driving distance to other tourist spots.
