Along heartstopping ledges and past the puffins to the peak where about 1,500 years ago industrious monks built a monastery that was occupied the next six centuries.

Reporter sixth century men never looked at anything like this. Yet thats exactly what 21st century tourists have come to do. Janet moore beamed up from tampa. We were planning to come to ireland before even the star wars movie came out. And then that clinched it. Reporter it clinched brian and Ellie Summerfield from michigan.

Tens of thousands have already missed their flights this year because of the long security lines.

But the report said she should have turned them over when she left the state kept in 2013, not after she was asked for them a year and a half later.
