Blarney Castle chief: Tourists want to be served by Irish staff
Sir Charles Colthurst of Blarney Castle, Co Cork, said tourists want to be served by Irish staff because they come to this country for the banter and the friendliness of our people rather than our weather.
“If you ever did the Cork-Dublin train regularly a few years ago there was a marvellous man on the train, everybody would have remembered him. In the same way, there was a great porter in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin,” he said.
