Tourism team promote Shannon

A SHANNON Development team led by chairman Cllr John Brassil has returned from a tourism promotion visit to the US.

Mr Brassil, on arrival at Shannon yesterday, reported a surge of interest in Ireland from US holidaymakers at the Milwaukee Irish Fest in Wisconsin.

“The Shannon Development tourism team and I were delighted with the reaction from US people we talked to at this major festival. Over the course of the four-day event we talked to literally thousands of US people and handed out a range of tourist brochures promoting Limerick and the Shannon Region as a must-visit holiday destination.”
