Talk of disease ‘is a load of old Blarney’
Bosses at Blarney Castle in Cork have defended their precious stone’s cleanliness after a US-based travel website cited it as the world’s most unhygienic tourist attraction.
It may be kissed by up to 400,000 visitors each year – several of whom are likely to be carrying some sort of germs – but the custodians of the stone say they have never received a complaint from anybody.
