LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK INFORMATION
Internet Resources
Untitled Document
The Internet has become an indispensable planning tool for travellers. Ireland is well wired, so there’s a lot of useful information available online. Here are a few sites to get you started.
Blather - This wry webzine dishes out healthy portions of irreverent commentary on all things Irish. It’s a savvy way to get up to date on current events and attitudes.
Entertainment Ireland - Countrywide listings for clubs, theatres, festivals, cinemas, museums and much more. It’s well worth consulting this site as you plan your next move in Ireland.
Fáilte Ireland - The Republic’s tourist board information site has heaps of practical info. It features a huge accommodation database with photos.
Fine Gael - Not the website of the actual political party, but an anti-government website sponsored by the main opposition party, whose aim is to win favour by appearing alongside the poor consumer; we don’t buy it, but it does tell it like it is in relation to prices.
Irish Times - The website of Ireland’s largest daily newspaper represents a great way to get up to speed on all the latest news before you leave home.
Lonely Planet - Comprehensive travel information and advice.
Northern Ireland Tourism - Northern Ireland’s official tourism information site is particularly strong on activities and accommodation.
