    Ballybunion is full of myth and legend. Folklore surrounds Nine Daughter's Hole which is said to date to a Viking invasion in 800AD.
    The local Chieftain O' Connor, had nine daughters who, depending on which version of the tale you believe, either fell in love with the Vikings or the Vikings planned to kidnap them.
