___ Stone (rock said to have inspired the phrase "Kiss me, I'm Irish") (7)
I believe the answer is:
blarney
(Other definitions for blarney that I've seen before include "somewhere in Ireland" , "'Sweet talk, oul' guff (7)'" , "Kiss this Stone to get the gift of the gab" , "Flattery to gain favour in Cork" , "Flattering talk" .)
