Irish and Proud

Well the dust has finally settled on the ashes of Euro 2012... And though we (Ireland) took a complete pasting from the Spanish, here at  Issacs hostel we can take some consolation from our Irish supporters. They were just an amazing example of just how naturally effective the Irish are at promoting our country! They made international headlines by simply being their upbeat, cheerful selves against the Spanish onslaught with their moving renditions of the Fields of Athenry .


Though we sadly took down our Irish flags bedecking reception this week , we know that both our hostels and tourism in Ireland will be reaping the rewards from International visitors - spurred on by the might of the green army. Well done lads and C'mon Ireland! (We might not be the best at football but we sure know how to give our visitors a good time.)
