Ireland’s Association for Adventure Tourism (IAAT) is hosting its 2019 conference in Charleville, Co Cork, on Wednesday and Thursday, November 20 and 21.

DRIVING through Mitchelstown, a town whose easy traffic is still hard to get used to after being bypassed by the M8, I turn up a cul-de-sac and pause at the gates of Ballinwillin House.

THIS year’s Irish Rural Link conference at the Park Hotel, Charleville (May 15-16), will focus on the challenges, opportunities and skills required by rural communities to work towards their own future sustainability.
