According to Tourism Ireland, who have launched their "radical" new marketing campaign to sell the country overseas, one of the reasons visitors love coming here is because, and I quote, "of how easy it is to get around".
Now, surely even marketing people have to laugh at that suggestion in a country with arguably the most abysmal public transport system in Europe?
About Me
- Declan Cashin
- I'm 28, from Kilkenny originally and living in Dublin for the past six years. I graduated with an MA in Journalism from DIT in 2006. I work as a feature writer for the Irish Independent and the Irish Examiner. I worked in the Irish Daily Star for 18 months as a news and features subeditor, before going full-time freelance in January 2008. Over the years I've also reviewed books for The Irish Times, as well wording it up for Gay Community News (GCN), the Sunday Tribune, the Irish Daily Mail, The Event Guide, The Dubliner and The Spanner, as well as UCD Today and UCD Connections magazines. I'm occasionally known to pop up on The Last Word on Today FM and on various shows on NewsTalk 106-108FM, such as Tom Dunne, Lunchtime with Eamon Keane, The Right Hook, Culture Shock, and Weekend Blend, and have also made censors nervous on Spin, Phantom and RTE 2FM on Dave Fanning's show. I've made some inroads into TV, appearing on The Morning Show with Sybil and Martin, and Midday (pre-Sisterhood takeover), both on TV3. Watch out Tubridy!
