Been there. Done that. It’s not the same now. It was a rock on an inset shelf on the side of a stone wall not close to anything. Two of your friends lowered you by your legs from the top of the wall and pulled you back up. They have since put safety cages around it.

See the green confetti come down and down further lots of St Patty Day questions answered, like:
Why do we wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day?
Leprechauns are actually one reason you’re supposed to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day—or risk getting pinched! The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see.
Why is BLUE associated with St. Patrick?
The colour blue’s association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when it was adopted as the colour of the Anglo-Irish Order of St Patrick. The term refers to a sky blue used by the Order of St Patrick, often confused in Ireland with a darker, rich blue.
Traditionally, the green represents the Catholics of Ireland, the orange represents the Protestant population and the white in the middle symbolizes the peace between the two religions. The religious symbolism doesn’t stop there.
One of the most overrated attractions I’ve ever seen. Not worth the wait in the line. The gardens and grounds are beautiful, though. Plus, you are likely to get sick if you do kiss it. (And it is impossible to pee on it.)
My Pop got to go to his family roots in Ireland back in the 80s and got to kiss the STONE! He ALWAYS had that Irish wit even before the STONE! Miss him so much, Mom too.

Been there. Didn’t do that but SWMBO felt the need. I think she secretly thought it needed a recharge.

Given the number of people who’ve wee’d on the Blarney Stone, I ain’t bringing my face anywhere near it.
