Travel accolades for ‘Examiner’ writers

Travel may broaden the mind, but travel writers can broaden smiles and two of the Irish Examiner’s nomadic scribes have been honoured for bringing cheer to our readers through their excellence in chronicling trips home and away.

Regular contributor, Pól Ó Conghaile, took the top accolade at the Travel Extra Travel Journalist of the Year Awards, being named Travel Journalist of the Year, while Isobel Conway won the long-haul category award.

Both writers have been taking readers on armchair adventures through the pages of the Irish Examiner for many years, producing reports that capture the essence of locations near and far with a combination of spirited writing, sharp eyes for detail and stacks of practical information.
