Using our success in sport as leverage to sell the sod as an event destination?

Fáilte Ireland will open the 2015 Sport Tourism European Summit in Thomond Park, County Limerick, this morning with a montage of Irish hospitality, passion and overachieving sporting greatness.

Miriam Kennedy of Fáilte Ireland writes:

It’s a pleasure to launch this video and present a snapshot of all that is good about Ireland.  The purpose of “Ireland – The Event Island” video is to act as a key tool when selling Ireland as an event destination overseas.  We believe it evokes a great sense of pride and hope that it will be used to profile, promote and pitch all that Ireland has to offer within the event space

Do you like the Palestinian Oud music?

You do?

Orla Smith writes:

Le Trio Joubran is a Palestinian oud trio formed of three brothers – Samir, Wissam and Adnan – originally from Nazareth and now touring and performing worldwide, along with master percussionist Youssef Hbeisch.. Hearing is believing. Quite simply, Le Trio Joubran is one of the most exciting instrumental groups in the world.

My Parents sent me this pic (above) of our dog ruby a few weeks back. The fact that my mother handmade the sign makes it more adorable, I think. I’m in Canada and can not vote so it’s good to know Ruby is making the effort at least!
