The real deal

Claire Droney gets a luxury tour of Killarney — the kind Queen Victoria received.

THE Laurels Singing Pub, The Danny Mann, Scruffy's and Revels — I’ve been on lots of hen parties in Killarney and thoroughly enjoyed some great nights out in its myriad pubs and clubs. Somewhere on the edges of my consciousness I always knew about the Killarney National Park, the jaunting carts and Muckross House, but I never quite had the time to visit them. It’s fun to act like a tourist in Killarney, a town I thought I knew like the back of my hand.
