Virtual reality is new way to view Ireland's Atlantic coast

Tourists visiting Ireland can now experience virtual reality (VR) experiences along the Wild Atlantic Way through apps on their phones or computers.

It comes as figures show that the number of people visiting Ireland for a holiday jumped by almost 30% in the first three months of 2016 compared to record high figures last year.

Fáilte Ireland has now also unveiled its new 360° views of the Wild Atlantic Way which it says will add another level of immersion for visitors researching the destination.
