Favorite thing: Unfortunately Blarney Castle was one of two castles I visited that weren't on the Heritage Card that I purchased but you can use one of the other cards that offer discounted admission, the Heritage Island Card which offers 2 for 1 or discounted admission to many attractions throughout the country.

From their website it appears that you purchase a touring guide for 5.99€ and then you can get 2 for 1 admission into Blarney Castle. At 10€ per person, even if this is the only attraction you visit, you still save a little money, more if you are visiting some of the other attractions on the list. It appears that you can either purchase online, give yourself at least a week for the post, or you can purchase at Dublin or Shannon airport or some tourist offices.

The Heritage Card that I bought was valid at a lot more places that I visited, you might also have a look at that card for other tourist sites in Ireland.
