Campervan demand grows ahead of Euro 2016

Ireland’s qualification for Euro 2016 has triggered a boom in the sale of campervans, as the Green Army prepares to travel en masse to France next year.

Liam Madden, who runs CampervansIreland.com — a go-to website for nationwide information on sales and rentals of vehicles across the country — said online traffic to the site doubled after Ireland qualified for next year’s tournament.

He said investing in a campervan made economic sense for travelling supporters, particularly ones heading to the continent in a small group for the month-long tournament next June.
