Best Of Ireland 2016 hits shelves today

With Irish eyes still smiling after St. Patrick’s Day, this year’s issue of Best Of Ireland hits the shelves today. There’s never been more to see and celebrate on the island, and the 2016 edition of our annual guide certainly has you covered.
Our cover star is the fast rising star of TV and radio Bláthnaid Treacy. The star of Two Tube and the National Chart Show has come a long way since making her showbiz bow as a three-month-old on Glenroe; in conversation with Stuart Clark, she discusses her hectic schedule, growing up in beautiful Bray, and her favourite shops, eateries and destinations in the country.
Donal Skehan is another youngster on the rise, as he prepares to hit LA to spread the good word of Irish food to our transatlantic cousins. He shares his very favourite Irish producers, reveals his choice for the ultimate slap-up meal, and discusses the music, books and pastimes that are closest to his heart.
Elsewhere, we get the lowdown on everything great and good from model turned food writer Roz Purcell and actress Antonia Campbell Hughes.
Of course, our team has once again pulled together the perfect guide to the very best the national has to offer in everything from restaurants and bars to major attractions and sporting experiences. From brunches and bakeries to hotels and hostelries, we provide the ultimate inside track to the nation — and if that weren’t enough, we call upon the likes of Neil Prendeville, Elaine Crowley, Neil Delamere, Kevin Barry, Eoghan McDermott, Niamh Farrell and Danny O’Reilly to share their top tips.
Also on the agenda are family activities, the LGBT scene, the thriving world of trad, faces to watch, the finest Irish novels of the century, and the ultimate guide to our cities in the Locals’ Guide.
All that, and we’re merely scratching the surface.
