Can anyone confirm Faherty Tours is still operating? I emailed several weeks ago with questions concerning the Aran Islands tour and have yet to receive a response.
The "Goats and cheese on Inishmore" thread in this same (Ireland) forum may answer your question.
BTW, allow me to share a joke I overhead from a train conductor named Faherty on Metro-North in the New York area a few years ago. Some passengers commented, seeing his name tag, that they were visiting from Ireland and had relatives named Flaherty. He explained that his name is Faherty, not Flaherty, and quipped, "We have a better Christmas. No L."
