Willkommen-Bienvenida-Bienvenue-Welcome to our January 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 put a spotlight on some fantastic events happening in the Irish capital – including Dublin Bowie Festival, the Irish premieres of two Philip Ridley plays at the Abbey Theatre, as well as the Gaiety’s new star-studded production of Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple of Inishmaan.
We also highlight the various music festivals kicking off 2019 around the country such as Tradfest at Temple Bar, Co Clare’s Shannonside, Co Derry’s IMBOLC and Music for Galway’s special midwinter event. Pat Liddy writes about the history of the GPO and the magazine gives the rundown on the best theatre to see.
