Mallow Castle, the Ring of Kerry and Lough Gur are among 78 outdoor recreation projects which are to share an €11 million investment in greenways, blueways and walking trails around the country.

It was a location for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, so it’s no surprise that Kerry has been listed as one of the best star-gazing spots on the planet.

Dublin seems to be getting even friendlier, as one of the world’s most read travel guides voted it the second most welcoming city on the planet.
