Stone me! Canadian’s bad luck shows myth not a load of Blarney

A CANADIAN who took a piece of the wall Blarney Castle during a visit last year has returned it following a spate of bad luck.

Liam Sareman took a piece of the wall as special souvenir on a trip to Blarney in February 2009 but was plagued by months of misfortune.

Eager to turn his luck around, Mr Sareman packaged the stone and returned it to its rightful place, with a letter explaining his actions.
