“We encounter, after the first views, a characteristic group of beggars, possibly preparing for the next scene, Blarney. Leaving the other beggars, we encounter some Connemara peasants in holiday costume. We see six views of Dublin, including the Phoenix Park. We pass on to Galway, the Giant's Causeway, Holy Cross Abbey, and at a cottage witness an Irish wake. Passing Kilkenny, we may imagine ourselves in a jaunting car till we reach Killarney, where we fall on seven views, including In nisf alien. A marriage party, with bride on pony, Powerscourt Waterfall, the deserted village of Lissoy, Belfast, Carrickfergus Castle, four views of Galway, Limerick, Londonderry, Sligo, Waterford, Youghal Abbey, etc., etc., makeup the set.”
