Did you kiss the stone? It's a LONG way down when you are a kid and hanging out there in mid air lol.

Looks cool. I'd love to get to Ireland one day.

I did not kiss the stone... Even though the supposed gift of eloquence was tempting, the gift of COVID seemed more probable!

Having kissed the stone myself, I wonder what impact Covid-19 has had in the number of people now wanting to do the deed? Nice footage btw.

Good question that. So I visited now for the first time and it was after COVID... It is off season now and I would say that roughly 1 in 3 visitors decided to kiss the stone (which they wipe off with desinfectant after each visitor who does). I don't know which percentage of visitors was kissing the stone prior to COVID
