New tourism initiative for the south and east
The south and east of the country are getting a new tourism initiative to rival the 'Wild Atlantic Way'. Fáilte Ireland's launching what it calls 'Ireland's Ancient East' to encourage more tourism throughout Leinster and Munster. The scheme will incorporate locations in counties from Cork to Meath, including Kilkenny, Tipperary, Kildare, Wicklow, Wexford and Offaly. Paul Keeley from Fáilte Ireland says the region already attracts tourists - but only as they pass through on their way to the west. Click the PLAY button above to hear.
