Good Food Ireland to feature on SKY TV

Scrumptious food from around Ireland will feature on SKY TV and IRISHTV.ie this coming Thursday, December 15th in a special one-hour programme showcasing all that is good about an Irish food experience.

The programme, which focuses on food-tourism group Good Food Ireland and its members, include interviews with food producers, restaurateurs and hoteliers who rely on the quality of their produce to entice customers and visitors to Ireland from all over the world.

"The passion these people have for food is phenomenal. I was amazed by their commitment to quality and attention to detail. The people we spoke to have wonderful stories to tell from small beginnings in country kitchens to the crème de la crème of the international culinary market," commented programme presenter Pierce O'Reilly.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Leo Varadkar TD, celebrity cook Darina Allen, Farmer's Journal editor Matt Dempsey and travel writer extraordinaire Manchan Magan all give their views on the future and importance of the Irish food industry and the critical role that Good Food Ireland plays in its promotion at home and abroad.

 The Good Food Ireland Special can be viewed on SKY TV channel 201 and on www.irishtv.ie this coming Thursday, 15th December at 9pm. The programme is repeated on Sunday at 10pm and Monday at 11pm.
