We are absolutely thrilled we got to visit the International Rugby Experience yesterday 💚
Passion. Discipline. Integrity. Solidarity. Respect. 🏉 The values of rugby boom through the voice of legend Paul O’Connell from the first moments in Limerick’s must-see International Rugby Experience. 🏉
And, it just keeps getting better and better. Incredible staff (doing Limerick proud 👏💪) support with tips, insights, and memory-making interactive games that manage to suit both the enthusiast and the novice (that’s me!!).
Incredible architecture and views of Limerick City are the icing on the cake 👍
Laugh out loud fun, with LOTS to inspire (whether you love rugby or not). I will be back… next time ready for action in my tracksuit, ready to improve my kicking score 🤭 🏋️♀️🤣

Highlighting the stunning Westport House Estate 💚
Westport Estate is home to the most beautiful gardens with trails to wander through nature. 🌷🌻🌼
We took a tour of the historic Westport House and learned so much about the history of the estate and the town of Wesport.🏫
Pirate Village located in the estate was also so much fun and a big hit with the little ones! 🦜
This is the last year Pirate Village will be open as a brand-new adventure park will open in 2024.

We had the pleasure of visiting Wild Food Mary Bulfin and foraging for our lunch in County Offaly at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains.
Located in the heart of nature, Wild Food Mary offers a unique and sustainable way of sourcing food.
Mary taught us about wild edibles and how to identify them in the wild with medicinal and mythical stories followed by a wild food cook up in Mary's farmhouse kitchen. 🌱✨
This experience educates your mind and inspires your soul in the heart of nature 💚

Thank you to Gavan Woods & Dean William Morton for a wonderful welcome to St Patrick's Cathedral this morning during our Clogher Valley FAM trip. We would highly recommend a visit to learn about Ireland's story and be truly inspired with knowledgeable guides passionate about our history.
As the largest cathedral and one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Ireland, Saint Patrick’s has been at the heart of Dublin and Ireland’s history and culture for over 800 years. Their story is a microcosm of the story of Ireland. We had the opportunity to look at St Patrick's Cathedral timeline and learned more about the development including the fascinating characters who make St Patrick's Cathedral's story what it is today.
Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland. The building serves as a place of worship, a visitor attraction and as a host for many events. A dedicated team of staff, volunteers and members of the Cathedral community are responsible for ensuring this building’s ongoing life and ministry is maintained for future generations to enjoy.
