Craggaunowen, the Living Past in Clare

IRELAND'S WEST (Galway-Killary-Sligo):

Killary Cruises

There are beautiful panoramic views to be seen from Killary Harbor. Ireland’s on fjord, Killary Harbor features catamaran tours and cruises, which are still a smooth ride, even in rainy Irish weather. The fjord winds between Galway and Mayo and is a scenic yet relaxing tour of some of Ireland’s natural wonders.

NORTHERN IRELAND:

Enniskillen Castle Museum

Originally a Gaelic Maguire stronghold, the Enniskillen Castle Museum in County Fermanagh has been completely refurbished and is now a living museum, which re-enactors and dressed up tour guides. Special exhibits happen year-round and include artifacts and information about Irish history, art, music and archeology.

I have been to every site mentioned in this story and I must say that I don't understand the bit about Enisskillen Castle. I was there in 2007 and unless things have changed, and I hope they did, the castle does not resemble the description at all. Only a building in the middle of the grounds was open as a military museum and a few exibits here and there in the courtyard. No re-enactors and most of the grounds were still off limits. Actually disappointing. Why was Trim Castle not mentioned?
