Define Ireland Newstalk

Newstalk have launched a new campaign called 'Defining Ireland', where over the next 8 weeks they want the Irish public to let them know their choices for the very best in the following five categories by emailing them on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or on their facebook page – www.facebook.com/definingireland

Five categories 

  •     characteristic hotels and restaurants
  •     historic attractions
  •     iconic landscapes
  •     traditional pubs and bars
  •     festivals & cultural events


This is not an easy ask – like which is a better pub, Tig Coili (chi coley) in Galway or Matt Molloy’s in Westport?And if you were to choose between the Willie Clancy Music Festival or the Oyster Festival, just one of half a dozen top class festivals that are as good as any you’ll find anywhere in Europe? And when it comes to iconic landscapes – that’s an even harder pick – there’s the Cliffs of Moher, sure, but what about the Doolough Valley in County Mayo or the sight of Inish Mor as you approach by boat?

Every week, listeners will suggest their recommendations for the places that define Ireland in the five categories by sending them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or on the facebook page – just look for defining Ireland on Newstalk. The Breakfast team will collate all the entries and rank them in order of preference and then they will be presented to the audience every week.
