As an Irishman I’d thought that beginning of us ceasing to follow the lead of our English neighbours began with our hard fought break away from the Union in 1921.
Corporate tax breaks, adopting the Euro, public smoking bans and I’ve even heard rumors that the debate is on to convert the Republic to right hand drive, something I think should have been done years ago.
Ireland has a wide and diverse range of music to cater for all tastes. Ranging from Traditional Irish to Rock, Pop and Jazz.
Ireland’s most famous artists include Van Morrison, Rory Gallagher, Enya, Mary Black and Christy Moore. Some of Ireland’s most notable bands include U2, Thin Lizzy, The Chieftans and The Thrills. All of these have made their mark on both the Irish and the international stage. Most of these can be seen playing the main stages of Ireland in Dublin, Cork and Killarney, but what of Ireland’s new talent?
In a poll of the top ten most romantic nations in the world, it’s doubtful if many would vote for Ireland. Irish men have a reputation for being shy and taciturn except after a few beers and with few exceptions, being more interested in sport than their wives or girlfriends.
Ireland does possess however, some of the most romantic landscapes in the world. From the mountains of Mourne in the north east of the island, to the wildness of Connemara in the west, the stunning valleys of the Wicklow mountains in the east such as Glendalough, the windswept romantic coastline of west Cork and the breathtaking majesty of the Dingle peninsula with its stunning marriage of mountains and sea.
Aer Lingus have just announced a sale that has flights to Ireland for only $289 in the peak Summer season and as low as $199 in low season.
I have been watching the price of travel this year and despite the weak dollar combined with expensive oil, a vacation in
Ireland in 2008 looks like it will be better value than it has been in quite a few years.
At the end of this month, from Wednesday 20th to Sunday 24th February, one of Ireland’s major cultural events will take place in Killarney: The Gathering, traditional music festival. Now in its ninth year, the festival keeps growing and attracts visitors not only from Ireland but from all over the world, mainly coming from America and Europe.
All lovers of Irish traditional music and Irish dances meet there every year to share their common passion but also to spend a great time with each others. From morning to late in the night, you will find the best of Irish entertainment there. So why not joining the thousands of traditional music fans to experience the legendary Irish “Craic”?
