they were funded and kept going by grants, because the result of them being able to perform again today, now, that is incredible, thejoy and pleasure they give people. wow. long may that live. the next part of myjourney will take me south towards ireland's second largest city, cork, but i could not pass by it without stopping at one particular famous landmark. the place we're going to now is somewhere i have heard an awful lot about, and you may have too, but if i told you it's connected to a little town and castle called blarney, and by going there i will improve my social skills to no end, you might guess what i'm talking about.
