Hello and Welcome

Hello

Welcome to the Best of Ireland, where I hope to explore all that is great about this country.  With all the doom and gloom around I think we sometimes forget that we as a nation still have reasons to be optimistic for the future. The aim of this blog is to highlight all things positive from the brave new startups emerging from the recession, to Ireland qualifying for the quarter finals of the rugby world cup!
