From Special Irish Fest Public Nudity/Fine Arts Correspondents Ronan Collins and Dave Shaughnessy:
1,000 Pose Nude At Blarney Castle

RTE: Around 1,100 people have taken part in a Spencer Tunick installation at Blarney Castle in Cork.

The event was part of the Cork Midsummer Festival.

The artist, who specialises in the celebration of the nude form, has photographed over 75 site specific related installations around the world.

He will stage another installation in Dublin on Saturday in conjunction with the Dublin Docklands Development Authority.

See video here.
In the spirit of the event and to save money on T-shirts, this year the Kansas City Irish Fest staff and directors announce that we will spend Irish Fest Fest weekend naked. Except those credentials we wear on lanyards around our necks will be really big.

and what about the volunteers! lol. Serving beer naked makes me laugh. Or even better crowd control at the CD tents!

Seriously though...I have a friend participating in the event in Dublin on Saturday. I think it is fantastic that you posted it on the blog.
