VIDEO: Holidays in Ireland look really deadly

According to this new Discover Ireland video. Well yes, they would say that, wouldn't they.

A new ad for Discover Ireland aims to get holidaymakers all misty-eyed about spending your summer holliers dodging showers and eating sandy sandwiches.

Told through the eyes of a child, it uses images of swimming, surfing, biking, exploring, donkey-feeding, dolphin-touching and 99-licking to make mams and dads consider the old homestead for this year's summer break.

"This is our new ad for our 2014 Discover Ireland #ThisIsLiving campaign," the organisation said.

The ad, aired for the first time during last night's Six-One News, features footage from both real life holidays submitted by Discover Ireland's Facebook fans as well as specially shot footage on location around Ireland.

What do you reckon?

Are you planning to holiday at home this year, or is the promise of sun too tempting?
