Tourism Ireland start new drive for more visitors at World Travel Market

Ireland's tourism drive for 2015 kicks off today at the world's largest travel fair in London.

Minister of State for Tourism and Sport Michael Ring joins Tourism Ireland and 70 tourism enterprises from across Ireland at the World Travel Market.

The latest CSO figures for overseas visitors to Ireland show an increase of more than 9% from January to September this year.

That is half a million more than the same period last year.
