Say your name is Barney and sell the tour as an oppurtunity to kiss both the Barney and Blarney stones in the same day.when the liners pull into dunmore east the woman who owns woods town house opens up as the liners give her mad money to let in mature American women who want to see where Jackie Kennedy had a fling with some guy after JFK was killed .
