PS – image on the home page of the castle was taken at the Rock of Cashel which is one of Ireland’s oldest and best known historical sites (and it is close to our offices).  The Gaelic version of its name is Caislean Pádraig which means St. Patrick’s Rock. St. Patrick is associated with much of the mythology of the Rock of Cashel.
