KERRY IS GETTING a bad press this morning. It’s time to set the record straight.
1. First, just look at this.
2. Then think about Banna Strand at sunset is actually one of the most beautiful places on earth
3. Can you think of a better ice cream than Murphys in Dingle? Can you? Just try for a minute.
Yeah you can get it in Dublin too. Does it taste the same though?
4. OK. Now remind yourself that possibly nowhere other than Kerry could this righteous notice exist
5. Not to mention this one.
6. Recall that a pint in Mike O’Neill’s Railway Tavern in Camp is a genuinely wonderful experience
7. Or Freddie’s in Caherdaniel.
8. Let’s just take a moment for the fact that Kerry has a festival which involves catching a goat, getting a girl to kiss the goat, hoisting the goat up in the air for three days, and then everyone in the town going on the batter.

9. Kerry is a land of heroes. It has The Gooch.
10. It has Weeshie
11. And it has the guy who looks after Facebook for Burger King Tralee.
Yes:
12. Kerry has Slea Head and Clogher Strand, one of the few places in the country you could describe as genuinely breathtaking
13. It has the surf at Inch
14. It has, well, the Ring of Kerry. Which is pretty much all phenomenal.
15. And it has some of the best seafood you will eat anywhere, ever
16. Plus one of the best tapas restaurants in the country? Not a bother.
Actually Killorglin's food scene is all pretty amazing. Try Jack's Coastguard Restaurant, Nick's Seafood, or Giovannelli's for Italian.
17. There's also the small matter of Ireland's best (and possibly littlest) music festival.
18. There's this interview with Ireland's oldest drover, which will forever be one of the most wonderful things on the internet
19. And finally, there's Munster Final day in Killarney.
Mup the Kingdom.
