    Just to give this great place a mention, we went there today and had a great time. Bought carrots and ginger biscuits and were able to feed the donkeys.
    My lad took a bit of video of me and I look an absolute muppet, but what the hell, its here if you want a laugh.

    Is this place still run by a lady named Sue?? She used to have dogs and geese and things along with the donkeys. You can "adopt a donkey" and you get a newsletter every so often giving you an update of all the animals. Well done for highlighting the place, it used to be the only donkey sanctuary in Ireland, save a big one in Cork, not sure if that's the case anymore.

    I love the donkey in the forefront who's pretending to be totally disinterested. Guess it worked you made sure he got his own biscuit. :D

    Yep I know the place well. It's a nice place and the animals are well looked after.

    Ye should also take a trip up to see the tombs and views from the top of the mountain. Instead of going straight on to the santuary take a right at the last intersection. Well worth it.

    We were going to go there, but it started lashing rain so we are going back another day.
