We
have official confirmation that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did indeed stay at Castle Oliver outside Ardpatrick village in Limerick. But they're not there anymore.
Áine Fitzgerald, a reporter with the Limerick Leader, was first to receive the confirmation from an official source high up in the hotel.
Speaking to breakingnews.ie, Áine said that her source was keeping tight-lipped about the high profile visit.
"Due to legally binding contracts, they could only confirm that they had visited and that they have since departed. They couldn't say when they arrived, what they did or when they left".
However, a local source told Áine that two minibuses with blacked-out windows drove through the the village of Ardpatrick at 1.30am on Monday.
According to the Limerick Leader, staff at the castle were busy in recent days preparing the interior and grounds for American guests. The staff - a small core group who only work for big occasions-were told that they would not be needed for the remainder of the week. There is also said to have been a delivery of flowers to the estate.
The reporters and paparazzi that have been camped outside the Castle Oliver since yesterday have reportedly moved on to another secluded location - Ballyseede Castle on the outskirts of Tralee.
Whether this is a sign that the elusive couple are staying in the Kerry hotel or just another misdirection remains to be seen. What is certain is that they’re leading everyone on a merry goose chase across the Irish countryside
And, so, the hunt continues.
