The last part of our trip was a weekend in Kenmare where we stayed in Shaminir B&B, probably the best B&B in Ireland. On our way down we stopped in Dungarvan for lunch.

We also stopped in Midleton to see the Jameson Distillery and sample the various different samples. This was nice. The tour was a little better than the Bushmills Distillery in my opinion. but I still prefer that actual distillery in Bushmills.
"For hundreds of years, a male mountain goat has been enthroned as King Puck in Killorglin town. The Puck Goat reigns over the fair held on August 10th, 11th and 12th of each year. King Puck is a symbol of a vast tradition whose origins are lost in the mists of time."
