The March / April 2020 issue of Ireland of the Welcome is officially a celebration of things springtime in the Emerald Isle.

The daffodils are blooming and the snowdrops are trying their best to put on a show. Here in Ireland of the Welcomes headquarters, we’re straddling our history and the future, and nowhere is that more apparent than with Domhnall O’Donoughue’s feature on the modern Irish literary scene and Leo O’Cathsaigh’s piece on the history of Irish storytelling.

Elsewhere, the brighter days have us dreaming of summer holidays and so we’ve taken this issue as an opportunity to visit some of the country’s best kept secrets - from hotels to heritage sites we’re here to whet your appetite for Irish travel.
