In the wake of its 30th birthday celebrations in 2006, BBC Radio Ulster marked the beginning of a new broadcasting era by embarking on the station’s most ambitious project to date, the recounting of the history of Ireland! For easy digestion, and across the course of a year, the story of the island is told in a series of 240 short documentaries - starting with the Ice Age and the arrival of the first humans through to the outbreak of the Second World War.
Written by a veteran journalist, Frommer’s Ireland 2015 shows travelers how to experience the country the way the locals do. This classic Frommer’s series includes exact prices; candid reviews of the best restaurants, attractions and hotels in every price range (from hostels to guest-accepting castles); and dozens of detailed maps. We also include advice the tourist board wouldn’t approve of: which sites to skip, how to avoid the crowds, and how to stretch your travel budget further, whether you’re on a lavish honeymoon or backpacking it. Erin go Bragh!
Its prices greatly reduced by an ongoing economic crisis, but its spirit undaunted and its population as garrulous and outgoing as ever, Ireland has a special appeal to the tourist, as shown by the large yearly number of visitors.

We're sure our readers will enjoy his affectionate guide to the Emerald Isle.
