Morning, Clare.
I'm only sorry Armagh wasn't on that list, Clare.
I bet you are.
Delighted Donegal were there though.
Absolutely delighted.
Well, it is.
It's kind of something, Clare, we expect really.
We'd expect to be beating these countries for landmark and beauty and tourism and all of these sort of things, you know.
So we're taking it in our stride here in the kingdom.
They probably look at one level it is but it's great like no better county than Kerry to jump on something in terms of promoting ourselves or no the lifeblood of the county is tourism and we need visitor numbers and anything that helps that is helped by something like this and the other side of it is that people will be a bit competitive about it within the county.
So you have this suggestion, this company winning games that are looking for the help of the people of Kerry to suggest what should make a square, whether it's a landmark or a business or an organisation or something like that.
There'll be no shortage of people getting involved in that, trying to kind of big up their own areas.
And it could, Clare, spark off
The latest in the ongoing, you know, eternal saga between Tralee and Killarney as to which is the greatest town or which was really the county town in Kerry.
That stretches all the way back to time eternal.
Yes, and an equal footing.
Yes, there will be trouble marking my words.
There still is, and it came up on our programme during the week, we were doing a piece about the birthplace of Joe Varus, the original winning captain of the first Sam Maguire for Kerry.
His home is being redeveloped into a block of apartments and there's, you know, suggestions that a plaque should be placed there.
But that opened up a wider discussion about the long-going, on-running saga for a Kerry G Museum.
