Willkommen-Bienvenida-Bienvenue-Welcome to our October issue! Whether this is your first time visiting our shores or you are returning once again to trace the steps of your distant ancestors, here at Travel Ireland we hope in some small way to be able to gently guide you as you plan your stay here. This month we’re looking forward to taking in two radically different, cutting-edge new shows in Dublin – Disney on Ice presents Dream Big and Bloodlust: Rise of the Vampirates. Also in the capital, we highlight the theatre worth seeing while Pat Liddy uncovers some interesting stories about Malahide Castle, parts of which date back to the 12th century. Outside of Dublin, Munster is alive with a number of fantastic events available to attend including Dingle Food Festival in Kerry, the arts themed IndieCork and Limerick’s Richard Harris International Film Festival. Meanwhile, Anthony O’Keeffe fills readers in on his fabulous stay in Westport, Co Mayo.
