Setting Description:

Cork is located in the South of Ireland and is the second largest city in the country. It enjoys a keen rivalry with Dublin. Music, theater, dance, film, and poetry all play a part in city life. The city makes a great base from which to explore the south of Ireland, especially the mountains and beaches of Kerry. Closer still is Blarney Castle where, if you kiss the famous stone, you’re guaranteed the gift of the gab!
