Tourist hotspots: Dunmore East about to get a starring role

In the second of our tourism series, Conor Kane drops in on Dunmore East, the location of the new ‘EastEnders’ spin-off

LONG established as a bolthole for visitors from Munster and the eastern half of the country, and more recently as a haven for those from further afield, Dunmore East looks set to get an influx of holidaymakers who are new to the area in the coming months and years.

Filming of the EastEnders spin-off, Redwater, has been taking place in the Co Waterford resort over the last couple of months, already positioning it in Irish and British media as an attractive place to go.
