Meet the Experts

Our website is generated and maintained by our small in-house team based in Cork, Ireland

Our aim is to produce helpful and factual content that allows visitors to make informed decisions about whether, when and how to visit Ireland. We want our website to be the go-to authority for anyone who is looking to visit our country.

Made by us

We believe that content like this is too important to outsource to remote third-party copywriters. Our biggest strength is that we are writing about our home, the country we love. That's why everything you read on this website has been produced by our in-house team, sometimes in collaboration with local experts in specific regional niches.

Passionate local experts

Below, you can meet some of the key members of our in-house team who are responsible for creating and maintaining the content on our website. Each of them brings a unique set of skills and experiences to the table, ensuring that we provide accurate, engaging, and trustworthy information about the country we love.
