Now here's something a little out-of-the-way: an Irish Whiskey Tasting Session in the Muckross Park Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland (and in other Venues across Ireland on request).
Based throughout the year in the Muckross Park Hotel, close to Killarney National Park and Muckross House, it is situated on the Ring of Kerry and close to all accommodations in Killarney. This is a place to go to in Ireland to enjoy a fun, relaxed and informative evening. If I were you I would stay at the Muckross Park Hotel and avoid the travel.

The Galway Hooker
This unique vessel, with its distinctive curved lines and bright red sails, originated in the village of Claddagh. During the 19th century, hookers supported a significant fishing industry and also carried goods, livestock and fuel. Seán Rainey is remembered for building the last of the original boats, the Truelight, for Martin Oliver who was to become the last king of the Claddagh; as king, he was entitled to white sails on his boat. Since the mid seventies, many of the old sailing craft which were on the verge of extinction have been lovingly restored and new ones have been built. During the summer months they can be seen at festivals such a Cruinniú na mBád - the Gathering of the Boats - in Kinvara.
