The new edition of this essential guide is now organised by the seven principal tourist regions: the east, the south, the Shannon, the west, the north-west, Northern Ireland and the midlands. For each region, the book provides basic tourist information on where to go, what to see and what's on. In addition, there are features on Irish history, Irish society, food and drink, sports, social life, wildlife and art and architecture. Lavishly laid out and beautifully designed in full colour, this new edition is the premier tourist guide to Ireland in the new century.
