Group tours are one of the most popular ways to experience Ireland – especially for travelers who want to see a lot without worrying about driving, directions, or logistics. Nearly half of overseas visitors explore Ireland this way, which means coaches crisscross the island daily, bringing travelers to castles, coastlines, and charming towns. But what is it actually like to travel around Ireland on a coach tour? And how do you make sure the tour you choose matches the experience you want? This National Secondary road to the Cliffs of Moher is just wide enough for tour buses to squeeze past each other. This article is based on podcast episode 329 featuring Clodagh FitzGerald, a professional tour guide in Ireland.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. [powerpoint] Group Tours in Ireland: How Coach Travel Works Professional tour guide Clodagh Fitzgerald spends her days leading travelers around Ireland, and she describes the role as wearing many hats. A guide becomes the storyteller, problem solver, travel advisor, and sometimes even the group timekeeper. Each tour follows a planned itinerary, and the guide's job is to help travelers understand what they're seeing along the way – sharing history, culture, geography, and the little details that make Ireland special. For travelers, the biggest benefit is simple: someone else handles the logistics. Typical coach tours include: Transportation across Ireland A knowledgeable guide providing commentary Pre-booked accommodations Select included attractions Some scheduled meals Planned sightseeing stops Instead of worrying about navigation or parking, travelers can simply enjoy the journey. How to Choose the Right Group Tour in Ireland Not all tours are created equal. Before booking, it's important to carefully review the itinerary and details. A few things experienced guides recommend travelers check: Length of the Tour Consider how much time you actually want to spend in Ireland. If you're traveling from North America, it's wise to arrive at least one day before the tour begins to recover from jet lag and adjust to the time difference. Starting a tour the same day you land can mean spending the first day tired, disoriented, and missing out on the experience. What Is Included (and What Isn't) Tour itineraries often use wording like “see” or “visit.” Those two words can mean very different things. See often means you'll drive past the attraction. Visit usually means the group will stop and go inside. Reading the itinerary carefully helps avoid disappointment later. Hotel Locations Some tours stay in city centers, while others stay outside town. Neither is wrong, but the location affects your free time. If you want to explore pubs, shops, or restaurants in the evening, staying in or near the town center makes that much easier. Built-In Free Time Even on a group tour, it's nice to explore on your own. Many itineraries include: Free evenings Independent sightseeing time Opportunities to shop or explore small towns This balance lets travelers enjoy the structure of a tour while still having personal travel moments. What to Pack for a Coach Tour in Ireland Travelers forget things on every tour, but a few items come up again and again. Some essentials to pack include: A washcloth – not all Irish hotels provide them Prescription medications (always in carry-on luggage) Familiar over-the-counter medicine you normally use Earplugs or headphones for comfort on the coach Weather layers and rain protection Ireland's weather can change quickly, even in summer. Packing for rain – no matter the forecast – is always a smart move. Understanding Group Travel Dynamics Coach tours bring together travelers from different places and backgrounds. That's part of the fun, but it also means being mindful of the group. A few simple habits make the experience smoother for everyone: Be on time when the group departs Keep phone calls and music quiet on the coach Pay attention when the guide explains timing and stops Respect shared travel spaces Tours run on schedules, and if one person is late, the entire group may be affected. But the flip side of traveling together is the camaraderie that often develops. By the end of a tour, many travelers have formed friendships, shared photos, and even planned future trips together. Three Places Travelers Wish They Had More Time When tours move quickly, certain destinations leave visitors wishing they could stay longer. These three locations consistently top the list. Kilkenny Often called Ireland's medieval capital, Kilkenny is packed with winding streets, historic buildings, and excellent local shops. Many tours stop for only a short visit to see Kilkenny Castle, but the town rewards travelers who slow down and explore. Things to see and do: Tour Kilkenny Castle Walk the Medieval Mile Visit St. Canice's Cathedral Browse artisan shops and cafés Dingle Located on the spectacular Dingle Peninsula, this colorful harbor town is full of personality. Many tours visit as a quick stop during a scenic drive, but travelers often wish they had more time to enjoy the town itself. Highlights include: Traditional music pubs Boat tours in Dingle Bay The Dingle Distillery Walking along the harbor It's a place where spending the evening, rather than just an hour, can completely change the experience. Kylemore Abbey Set against the dramatic landscape of Connemara, Kylemore Abbey is far more than just a quick photo stop. The estate includes: The Victorian walled gardens Woodland and lakeside walks The Gothic church The abbey itself While some tours allow only a short visit, travelers often say they could easily spend an entire day exploring the grounds. About Clodagh FitzGerald Clodagh is a professional tour guide who leads coach tours across Ireland throughout the travel season. Her experience guiding international travelers offers a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on how group tours operate and how visitors can make the most of them. Clodagh has previously joined the podcast to share her tips for Kinsale and Waterford.

After staying in a luxury treehouse in France, I began to wonder what Ireland had to offer beyond the traditional hotel experience. The answer? Quite a lot. In this episode of Travel Tales with Fergal, I explore four truly unusual stays around the country — each offering something distinctive, memorable and a little out of the ordinary.First, I revisit my summer stay at Trinity College Dublin Rooms. Available from May to August, the student accommodation within the historic college grounds offers a rare chance to wake up in the heart of Dublin, surrounded by tranquillity yet steps from the city's buzz. There's the novelty of morning coffee trucks in the square, after-hours calm once the day visitors leave, and of course the chance to explore the iconic Book of Kells and the magnificent Long Room Library. Visit https://www.tcd.ieNext, I head to Mount Congreve Gardens in Kilmeaden, Co. Waterford. An 18th-century estate with extraordinary gardens, it offers everything from off-grid bell tents to stylish eco-cabins with hot tubs. I stayed in one of the atmospheric two-bedroom gate lodges — rich, gothic interiors, antique beds and velvet armchairs. With after-hours access to the gardens, direct links to the Waterford Greenway, and easy reach of the Comeragh Mountains and Mahon Falls, it's an ideal blend of heritage and outdoor adventure. Visit https://mountcongreve.comFrom there, it's on to the forest escape that is Cabu by the Lakes in Co. Cavan. Set on the shores of Lough Oughter, these woodland cabins range from cosy one-beds to larger barn houses with hot tubs. Think wood-burning stoves, lakeside views, outdoor saunas and cold plunges tucked among the trees. With boating, kayaking and forest walks on your doorstep - and new cabins launching in 2026 - it's a grown-up retreat designed for switching off. Visit https://holidays.cabu.co.ukFinally, I visited Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa in Tralee, Co. Kerry, where I stayed in one of their distinctive Iglucraft woodland cabins. These Nordic-style pods combine craftsmanship and comfort, all set against the backdrop of the Slieve Mish Mountains. Family-run for three generations, the estate is also deeply committed to sustainability, with extensive rewilding, native tree planting and scenic walking trails woven through the grounds. Visit https://www.ballygarry.comFrom college cloisters to woodland hideaways, lakeside cabins to historic estates, this episode highlights four unforgettable Irish stays that prove you don't have to leave the country to experience something truly different. If you're looking for inspiration for your next short break, this one is for you.Fergal O'Keeffe is the host of Ireland's No.1 Travel Podcast Travel Tales with Fergal which is now listened to in 140 countries worldwide.

A gathering of 20+ national experts in the field of physics took place in Waterford this morning at Walton Institute, SETU, for a workshop on the theme of CERN – the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. CERN is an intergovernmental organisation based near Geneva that uses the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to probe the fundamental structure of the particles that make up everything around us. Today's coming-together is a follow-on from last February's high-level visit to CERN in Geneva led by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless, who was joined by the same specialist delegation of Irish leaders in the field of physics. The Irish delegates' visit to meet senior CERN officials helped to build relationships that aided in achieving Ireland's long-term goal of joining CERN as an Associate Member State in October 2025. This achievement marked a major milestone for Irish science, strengthening research opportunities in fields such as medical applications, computing and particle physics. The status facilitates deeper participation in high-energy physics research for Irish scientists and also enables Irish companies to bid for contracts. Progressing plans for the national scientific community Today at Walton Institute, the delegation came back together to share updates, discuss objectives, ideas, and outline strategies for Ireland to assume a significant role in CERN engagement. Delegates were in Waterford to attend the Institute of Physics Spring Conference later on Friday and Saturday, where the focus of the annual conference would also be CERN-themed, and the opportunities for Ireland's scientific community. A representative of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Lola Hourihane, joined SETU President Prof. Veronica Campbell, along with Directors of Walton Institute Dr Kevin Doolin and Dr Deirdre Kilbane, representative of Research Ireland Dr Aisling McEvoy, as well as national experts Prof. Sinéad Ryan, Prof. of High Energy Physics at Trinity College Dublin and Prof. Ronan McNulty, Particle Physicist Professor at UCD. Upon welcoming delegates to today's CERN-engagement workshop at Walton Institute, SETU President Veronica Campbell said: "Ireland's Associate Membership of CERN is a game-changer for research and innovation in this country, and SETU is very proud to play an active role in shaping this new chapter. Under the leadership of Dr Deirdre Kilbane and her team at the Walton Institute, we are committed to fostering collaboration, driving cutting?edge research, and ensuring Ireland fully maximises the opportunities that membership brings. With the calibre of leadership and research talent gathered here today, I am confident that we are at the beginning of a very exciting journey of discovery, collaboration, and reputational growth." On hosting the workshop, Director of Research at Walton Institute Dr Deirdre Kilbane said: "It is a wonderful occasion that the Institute of Physics Spring Conference is being held here in Waterford, and very exciting that we are progressing opportunities for the Irish scientific community as an official Associate Member State of CERN." In attendance, Prof. Ronan McNulty, Particle Physicist Professor at UCD, said: "Having joined CERN, there are now fantastic opportunities available for Irish scientists, engineers and companies to collaborate with CERN on projects that are at the cutting-edge of science and technology." After the CERN-engagement workshop at Walton Institute, the delegation travelled to the nearby Tower Hotel in Waterford city, where SETU hosted the Institute of Physics Spring Conference as the 2026 university partner.

A family-owned managed print services provider is among the first in Ireland to reward its remote Irish workforce with digital local gift cards for their nearest town/city, locking the firm's reward spend into the country. Waterford based Cantec is using 5 local Town & City Gift Cards – the Think Waterford First Gift Card, the Love Drogheda Gift Card, the Limerick Gift Card, the Kilkenny Gift Card and the Lakes Gift Card – to reward its field based technicians who are based across Ireland. Delivered by global gift card specialist Miconex, the Town & City Gift Cards initiative is active in 16 Irish towns and cities. The cards are branded to specific places and can be redeemed with registered businesses in that town, city or region, including shops, restaurants, pubs, salons, hotels and services. Miconex announced €17.4m in local gift card sales in 2025, an increase of 65% on 2024, which it estimates will drive 335,000 specific visits to Irish high streets and shopping districts in 2026, based on estimates of 3 trips into town per gift card. Cantec invested €25,000 in digital local gift cards at Christmas 2025 tax free using the Revenue's Small Benefit Exemption scheme, and say choosing local gift cards based on where each employee lives ensures their reward spend stays in Ireland. Éadaoin Carrick is the executive chairperson of Cantec Group, and president of Waterford Chamber and said: "One of the disadvantages of the Small Benefit Exemption is that it facilitates employers gifting global gift cards that can be spent outside of Ireland. We made the decision to try and keep the spend in the local economy, and in Ireland, by choosing local gift cards for each employee based on where they live, primarily for Waterford where we are based, but also for Limerick, Kilkenny, Drogheda and Ballinrobe. "Everyone buys online occasionally but many high streets are dying because people are not walking into shops and buying things from local shops, they are buying from Amazon instead. The Christmas reward we offer for staff is a bonus outside of their regular salary, and I'd like to ensure that the bonus we give to staff stays local and on our island, benefitting people in Ireland. Choosing Town & City Gift Cards ensures our reward spend stays local." A number of chambers and business organisations have upgraded their paper 'shop local' programmes to high tech physical and digital gift cards alongside Miconex. A dedicated corporate order site allows organisations to purchase physical or digital Town & City Gift Cards for one or more of the 16 Town & City Gift Card programs in Ireland in one order, with digital cards delivered employees on a chosen date/time. Éadaoin is positive about the efficiencies that digital can offer for organisations: "The Miconex corporate site is such an easy system to use, simply selecting the local gift cards you need and the values. I specifically opted for the digital gift cards because it's handy for employees to have their card in their digital wallet, ready to tap to pay with local businesses. People will always have their phone with them, so it's a reward that is more likely to be used. "For us as an Irish business, choosing local rewards is about practicing what we preach, leading by example, and supporting Irish businesses that in return support us. We have to support each other. By choosing local gift cards, you can keep money in your hyper local community, in your region or in Ireland overall. Local people benefit when you support local economies." Colin Munro is the CEO of Miconex and said: "We introduced our digital gifting technology in Ireland in 2024 to enable organisations to easily reward their staff with local gift cards. The appetite for supporting local in Ireland is incredibly strong, as evidenced by the growth of our local gift card programmes across Ireland in 2025. As the Town & City Gift Cards network grows, what we're beginning to see is medium to large organisations like Cantec, with s...

South East Technological University (SETU) is coordinating AM-Heal, a two-year, €400,000 Erasmus+ partnership designed to strengthen Additive Manufacturing (AM) skills for healthcare and rehabilitation. Working with partners in Spain, Malta, and Ukraine, SETU is leading AM-Heal to develop and deliver a Level 9 Micro-Credential, which will build digital skills and professional competencies at the intersection of AM and rehabilitation. The programme will be delivered through a blended approach, combining online learning via a multilingual e-learning platform with hands-on training in partner facilities. A dedicated 3D printing training hub in Kyiv will also be established to strengthen local capacity and support skills development linked to rehabilitation and recovery. Through the Department of Engineering Technology at SETU's Cork Road Campus, the University will guide the consortium process to define and validate the shared micro-credential specifications in line with European micro-credential principles. Each partner higher-education institution will deliver the micro-credential locally and award it under its own academic regulations and quality assurance procedures, ensuring consistent content while supporting local certification pathways across the consortium. Announcing the project, Principal Investigator of AM-Heal at SETU, David Alarco, explained that AM-Heal will build expertise in design, materials and workflows, equipping learners with the knowledge required to apply AM effectively in rehabilitation contexts. The project will also produce open-access educational materials and research-informed policy recommendations to support safe and ethical adoption of AM in medical education and professional training. "AM-Heal aims to strengthen professional education at the intersection of additive manufacturing and healthcare. Through a shared micro-credential and practical training, we want to support cross-sector collaboration, build capability, and help accelerate the safe, effective use of AM in rehabilitation and clinical education," Mr Alarco said. "This project builds on SETU's additive manufacturing education capacity developed through the HCI-funded AMASE programme (2020–2025), in collaboration with SEAM and Design+ technological gateways. The existing 3D Lab in the Engineering, Technology and Research (ETRC) Centre at SETU's Cork Road Campus in Waterford supports applied learning and project work in advanced manufacturing," he added. The project consortium brings together SETU, PODOGLOBAL (ES), Associació Meraki Projectes de València (ES), Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University (UA), and the University of Malta (MT).

This week, in Waterford, Connecticut, the bodies of multiple women are placed on rural streets & posed, in a certain way, while having the exact same cause of death. Detectives are pretty sure that it's the same killer, possibly a serial killer, but finding that killer isn't so easy. The case goes cold, until a seemingly minor incident eventually leads to a most horrid, and cold blooded killer! How many more bodies could there be?   Along the way, we find out that line dancing is more of a choreographed sport, than actual dancing, that people from entirely different backgrounds, and entirely different minds can end up in the same exact place, and that some terrible people just take after their fathers!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!
