<p>Thanks, Bit. Your comment shows me that there's much more in Tipp I have still to see and enjoy.</p>

<p>Tipp often gets overlooked...so thank you for shining a spotlight on her... Glen of Aherlow would be a favorite haunt of mine...Athassel Priory would be another... Ahenny High Crosses is almost never mentioned</p>

<p>Knowing the people my father came from Tipp with, they probably closed their doors because they thought you were "Free Staters."</p>

<p>LOL, Mike. We in the now defunct Irish Brigade Association visited Tipp in March 1992, during our barnstorming tour of Ireland commemorating the irish who served in America's Civil War. En route from Waterford to Galway, we stopped at Fethard, the birthplace of Fenian mainstay Michael Doheny, as well as the Rock of Cashel and the Fenian monument at <a href="http://patrickmacmanus.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/the-fenian-rising-in-tipperary/" target="_blank">Ballyhurst</a>, where our contingent of…</p>

We noticed that the locals closed their doors when they saw us march through the hamlet, perhaps thinking we were a republican gathering. It was an amazing visit.</p> Thanks for the kind words, Ji…tag:thewildgeese.irish,2014-07-28:6442157:Comment:1084012014-07-28T12:08:18.919ZMichael Quanehttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/MichelQuane
<p>Thanks for the kind words, Jim. John Condon, also a great Tipp character, whenever someone said they were from Clonmel, would say, "And when did they let you out?"</p>

<p>Thanks for the post, Dennis. My father, like many in North Tipperary, claimed Moneygall was in Tipp, but the media keeps saying it's in Offaly. Border wars.</p>

<p>Great article on Tipperary, Mike! I spent parts of many a summer in Clonmel with my Aunt Delia and Uncle Morris who were the gate keepers to the hospital there. Morris, who was a great character, took us to all of the places you mentioned. It is a beautiful county and there is so much to see there.</p>

<p>Had a very spiritual visit to Cashel, the home town of my father's mother, and was able to make contact with long lost relatives back in the USA. I was also made aware of the fact that Barack Obama can trace part of his lineage back to Tipperary</p>

<p>Delighted to see you are bringing groups to Tipperary, Ann. Too many tour companies settle for "easy" itineraries limited to the two coasts. As an aside, just returned from Portland. Maine was beautiful as always.</p>
