The tradition of Irish hospitality dates back to medieval times. Grace O'Malley, The Pirate Queen, was refused at The Castle of Howth, She took offense and kidnapped the heir to the estate. She would only give him back if, from then on, a spare plate be laid at every meal. Brehon Law demanded that every village have a Parlour ready for passing travelers so that they may be shown hospitality. In keeping with tradition, there's always a place for you at The Parlour. |
