16 Irish things to see before you die: Fair City set left off list
The book 1001 Historic Sites You Must See Before You Die has 16 Irish entries. They are:
Blarney Castle, Co Cork
Clonmacnoise, Co Offaly
Derry town walls, Derry
Dublin Castle
General Post Office, Dublin
Grave of WB Yeats, Drumcliff, Co Sligo
Guinness Brewery, Dublin
Hill of Tara, Co Meath
Jerpoint Abbey, near Thomastown, Co Kilkenny
Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin
Newgrange, near Drogheda, Co Meath
Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery, Dublin
Oscar Wilde’s house, Dublin
Prospect Cemetery, Dublin
Rock of Cashel, Co Tipperary
Trinity College Dublin
All predictable enough, although I have a soft spot for the Gallarus Oratory in Kerry. And while Trinity makes it, it’s unfair on UCD. That really should be seen before you die, just so you can say you’ve seen the ugliest university campus on the planet.
