    Head to the gleneagles so!

    Well it's a funny place. In fairness if you don't take yourself too seriously you

    can knock a bit of craic out of the venue. I haven't stayed there because my

    parents live close to Killarney. So I can't comment on the accommodation side

    of things. But if you are up for a laugh it's great craic.

    Someone on this thread mentioned the Lisdoonvarna crowd in Killarney. They

    are the best ever. I live in Clare now and the older women come to my local

    hairdresser to get their hair done for the matchmaking festival. They are

    hysterical to listen to. I just to say who men to go to Lisdoon be aware!

    But I love the fact that it is cringy. You couldn't make this stuff up.

    It reminds me of Father Ted. Oops I just had a Dougal moment there.

    Father Ted wasn't real, this is. I'll have to keep repeating this to myself.

    It must be a nightmare to cater for the amount of people in the hotel on a given night.

    I know, I was just talking to my husband about that. He's from Galway and treats us folk from Kerry with a degree of suspicion.

    He asked what would be the formal name be like as what would be on a birth cert?

    I'm stumped. Would it be Laurence?

    I have no idea. Can you help?

    Florence, fairly common older male name in Kerry, not so much these days, usually shortened to Florrie.

    I am intrigued. Why was Florence given as a christian name?

    Possibly cos their dad and grandad and his grandad were too
    Or else a favored aunt was a nun named Florence
