They had titles they called the Knights of Kerry, and it was called the Geraldine dynasty at the time.
Jeremy PendryHOST
The Geraldines had Anglo-Norman and Welsh roots and a- arrived in Ireland in the late 12th century.

They built several castles on the Dingle Peninsula, including Gallarus, Rahinan, and Minard Castles, which you can see while you're there.

Eamonn KeaveneyGUEST
I'm not gonna lie.
Eamonn KeaveneyGUEST
'Cause I was up on, uh, what's it? Is it Dunmore Head, I am, I believe is the name of it, and just at the, the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, and I had specifically chosen to go there because it's the westernmost point in Ireland.
Eamonn KeaveneyGUEST
So like obviously the, kind of as I was saying earlier, the geographical limitations of Europe are, you know, it's a bit arbitrary.

Rose Spillane of Spillane's Bar and Restaurant was also a member of the ESB Networks Dingle project.
Rose SpillaneGUEST
So we are based in the Mahorís and it's on the north side of the Dingle Peninsula.
Rose SpillaneGUEST
We drive over the mountain over the Conor Pass, which is the highest mountain pass in Ireland.
Rose SpillaneGUEST
And then you'd be looking down at the Mahorís and it's beautiful, but it's right out sticking out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Clodagh FitzGeraldGUEST
So for me, One of those would be the Blaskets, Blasket Moor.
Clodagh FitzGeraldGUEST
Just off the Dingle Peninsula there, you can get a ferry from Dingle and you can go out for the day or you can get a ferry out and you can book one of the cottages and stay there overnight.
Clodagh FitzGeraldGUEST
And the Blaskets for the uninitiated were home to peg sayers.
Clodagh FitzGeraldGUEST
And Peg Sayers was on the high school honors Irish syllabus as an autobiography that you just went through torture to have to study.

Louisa DowningGUEST
So we had come on holiday with my mum when she was doing some family research and really fell in love with Kerry, just particularly the Dingle Peninsula.
Louisa DowningGUEST
And then we just, five years ago, when the kids were quite small, we got the opportunity where we could sort of make the decision, you know, and we just thought, actually, we'd really love to move to Ireland, move to Kerry.
Louisa DowningGUEST
So we did.
