Trinity Ball Nostalgia from 1988. 32 years ago today we were on the front page of the @IrishTimes with this pic taken while in the queue at front gate. Sad no Trinity Ball last night but better to stay at home - safe and well. Have a good weekend everyone. @tcddublin @tcdalumni

Today, 27 September, is World Tourism Day. My thoughts are with the 325,000+ workers in the hospitality industry across the island of Ireland whose lives have been turned upside down this year. A small reminder here of what makes us great!

So it’s snowing in Ireland and the charity radio station Christmas FM has reopened for a one day broadcast special. Brilliant. Only in Ireland. 😂😂😂 @christmasfm #sneachtageddon #SNOWMAGGEDDON ireland #StormEmma ireland

Delighted to hear Air Canada will fly Vancouver - Dublin four times weekly from 1 June 2022 and also Montreal - Dublin three times weekly from 2 June 2022. Despite short term uncertainties, good to see a strong picture emerging from Canada for summer 2022.

I was honoured to attend the White House yesterday for the Shamrock ceremony. Great to see President Biden and Vice President Harris along with our own Taoiseach (Prime Minister) renew the close friendship between our countries.

I rushed to the local bookstore to buy the new book ‘Peppa Pig goes to Ireland’ . We can’t claim any credit for this in Tourism Ireland but it’s a heart warming story in the current travel climate. There isn’t even a mention of NPHET or quarantine.
