the best tourist attractions in Ireland also?

You could have, and not necessarily near the coast. I'm thinking of the village of Liscarroll in North County Cork, not far from Mallow, which has the most amazing Norman castle in it, but nobody outside of the area even knows about it. The only thing Liscarroll is famous for is its Donkey Sanctuary (no slur intended as this is a good thing, too many of these animals suffer horrific treatment and there they are all looked after, so we do support the organisation) but the area is really pretty.
Another place in Cork that could be considered a tourist attraction is Kanturk Castle, not far from Mallow. Believe it or not, this was part of the English Heritage organisation until very recently!
Did you know that there is a vineyard near Mallow? Well, you do now. And that Mallow Castle is haunted? And that there are legends involving white rats?

Being a Corkman I'd like to say that we have the best tourist attractions but it pains me to say that Kerry probably outranks us in that department.
I think Cork comes a very close second though.

I don't think so, most of stuff people want to see because there's nothing else like that where they come from are in in the West and the North.
But I'm an adopted Corkonian and I'm loving it, so yeah, why not, let's say we do!

Well Cork does have a lot to offer. I think in the Summer time it is beautiful however I wouldn't fancy going to a beach in the winter time. lol
