Great news: The is no better time to visit Ireland

Here is a superb video produced by Failte Ireland (the tourist board) just to show that Ireland as a destination is still as fantastic as it ever was.

The message is that there is still plenty of fun to be had here and that the infrastructure for visitors really is superb: The hotels are of a very high standard, the food is excellent, the activity options have developed to a world class level and that the welcome is as warm and friendly as ever - in fact even more so.

And right now there are some excellent flight deals into the country. So if anything, the economic downturn has made Ireland an even better place to visit.

Enjoy, and please tell all your friends to watch it, we need to spread the good news.
