🌱 We are thrilled that Eoin Cluskey, Co-founder of Bread 41 - will speak us at our upcoming Inspiring Sustainable Tourism Conference on 23 January 2025! 🎉
Bread 41, a well-known bakery in Dublin recognised for its high-quality sourdough breads and pastries - and its commitment to sustainability. Bread 41 is celebrated for its use of traditional methods, including slow fermentation and sourdough techniques, using only three ingredients organic flour, water and salt. It is also committed to working closer with Irish farmers moving forward to procure more organic Irish grains.
With Eoin at the helm, Bread 41 also focuses on environmentally friendly initiatives. The bakeries run using renewable energy, and high-performance, low-energy ovens have been installed to further reduce energy consumption. Single-use coffee cups have been removed and other measures include considerable bin reduction, operating a biodigester, removing baking paper and many more initiatives. Eoin points out that, in the main any decision that has been taken to improve our environmental footprint has also saved the business considerable amounts of money.
Bread 41 also focusses on positive social impact practices in its operations. It is currently setting up a 'Love Bread' education programme to teach people, schools and children about the nutritional values of Real Bread, its cultural history and ingredients.
Bread 41 is B Corp certified.
It's a good job that Eoin gave up his one-time career as a carpenter to pursue his love for creating exceptional bread.
We are really looking forward to gaining insight into this field thanks to Eoin's extensive knowledge. 🌟

🌱 We are thrilled that Adam Harris, Founder & CEO of Asiam.ie - will join us at our upcoming Inspiring Sustainable Tourism Conference on 23 January 2025! 🎉
AsIAm is Ireland’s Autism Charity and Adam founded the organisation inspired by his own experiences growing up as an Autistic person in Ireland. In addition to his leadership at AsIAm, Adam was appointed to the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission in July 2020 and serves as an Executive Council Member for Autism Europe. He is a Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Awardee and has sat on, and advised, many government consultative and policy committees on disability rights and inclusion, which have helped shape national policies for a more inclusive society.
Adam’s work has positioned AsIAm as a cornerstone of autism advocacy in Ireland, driven by his belief that Ireland must become a country in which every Autistic person is accepted ‘as they are’ – equal, valued and respected.
We are really looking forward to benefitting from Adam’s wisdom as we explore how more inclusivity will simply enhance the tourism industry for everyone! 🌟

🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Hometree's Ray Ó Foghlú will be joining us as a contributor at our Inspiring Sustainable Tourism Conference on 23 January 2025! 🎉
Ray is the development lead at nature restoration charity Hometree which is based in Ennistymon, Co Clare.
What began as a tree-planting charity grew into a project that endeavours to deeply connect people with nature, and facilitates a wide variety of fundamental projects to address both Ireland’s declining biodiversity and the unfolding climate challenge.
Ray runs the charity’s farm programmes, such as Illaun FarmForest EIP, as well as their cultural projects, including Dinnseanchas & Ardnaculla Summer School.
His background is in environmental science where he specialised in forestry policy and practise. Ray’s areas of interest are forest ecology, native woodland restoration, farm woodland integration, and the role of culture in change. He is a 2021 Nuffield scholar, where he looked into the barriers to afforestation.
We can't wait to learn from Ray in January.

🌍✨ We are thrilled to announce that Bronagh O’Rourke of the Burren Farm Experience will join us at the Inspiring Sustainable Tourism Conference on 23 January 2025! 🌱🍃
💡 Who is Bronagh?
Bronagh is a qualified eco-tour guide and conservation ranger with a passion for wellness and the environment. She has transformed her family farm into a hub for sustainable tourism and premium-quality food production, all while promoting biodiversity and climate change solutions. 🌾🌟
🐄 Established in 2019, the Burren Farm Experience tour business enables people to gain insight into the history and formation of the farm and the landscape of the Burren.
Bronagh also created the Burren Premium Beef brand in 2020 and sells their Angus and Hereford beef directly to restaurants and online customers. The business works with a local artisan butcher and delivers orders directly to the door. 🥩🍴🚪
Both the beef and tourism businesses have evolved into highly sought-after, award-winning products which complement each other.
Bronagh's long-term strategy is to improve the land for biodiversity and embrace climate change mitigation measures such as carbon sequestration through the protection of their woodlands.
🌳 Bronagh's Vision
Bronagh is committed to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and creating meaningful, nature-filled experiences for her visitors.
Burren Farm Experience is a member of the Sustainable Tourism Network.
