		IRELAND'S TOURISM REGIONS

Cork , Kerry
Rugged peninsulas, clean beaches, towering mountains and some of Ireland's most famous landmarks - Cork and Kerry, famous rivals in sport, equally famous for their natural beauty.

Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the accent is distinctly different, the currency is pounds sterling but otherwise, the changes across the border are insignificant.

Shannon
While the Shannon region of Ireland is indeed home to the airport, Bunratty Castle and the Cliffs of Moher, whistle-stops on the traditional tourist route, don't be fooled into thinking that's all it has to offer.

South East
The sunny South East? Well maybe not all the time but there's plenty to see and do regardless of the weather: from mediaeval Kilkenny City to the historic Rock Of Cashel; seaside towns and fishing ports; Thurles, birthplace of the Gaa and Enniscorthy, home to the Fleadh Cheoil.

West of Ireland
The West of Ireland - the phrase evokes images of dramatic scenery and sandy beaches, childhood memories of long and perfect holidays. It may be a cliché to write about the rugged, harsh beauty of Connemara . . . visit and decide!

Dublin
The capital of Ireland and one of Europe's most vibrant cities. The whole region is buzzing, riding high on the crest of an economic boom and its effects are to be seen everywhere, from the frantic night life to a skyline filled with cranes.

Midlands East
Heritage sites, extensive lakelands, mountains and canals - the diversity of the Midlands-East region of Ireland may come as a surprise if you have not visited before.

North West
From the rugged cliffs of Donegal to the gentle drumlins of Cavan, via Sligo, Leitrim and Monaghan. The landscape of the North West region of Ireland ranges from wild Atlantic coast (fast becoming a surfer's paradise) to gentle streams, flora-rich bogland to rivers and lakes teeming with fish.
