- A Witty Answer.A short distance from Feale's Bridge on the way to Killarney after leaving the Limerick-Kerry border stands a forked road. A few years before the main line got steam-rolled a grey-bearded old stone-breaker plied his trade during the Summer months.A tourist car en-route for the lakes stopped to inquire of the road."I say Pat which is the road to Killarney?""Who told you my name was Pat?""Why man I guessed it.""You can guess the road to Killarney too," replied Pat.
