When EP launched in 2004 as a one day event headlined by Groove Armada, you would have been forgiven for laughing at any suggestion it could become ’Ireland’s answer to Glastonbury’.īut now in its twelfth year, it has firmly established itself as one of the crowning jewels of European festivals.

Nobody wants to see giant orcas crammed into tiny enclosures, do they? That’s why attendance at SeaWorld parks is going down. Let’s take a look at some of our most loved attractions that prove you don’t have to travel too far from home to see something truly special. Why would you go to Lourdes when you can take a spin up to Knock? Why travel over to Glastonbury when you can pitch your tent in Laois for Electric Picnic? There is, after all, a reason Ireland has been named as one of the top countries in the world for travellers in 2015. While we will always love watching the big events abroad, like the Tour De France, it was a welcome reminder of what attractions our own little island has to offer.
THE CYCLING COMMUNITY descended on Ireland last week for An Post Rás, an event that attracts among the very best cyclists from around the world and has a worldwide reputation for being a gruelling challenge.
