To promote County Clare as a holiday destination, Shannon Development organised a holiday prize for one lucky Tubridy show listener courtesy of the 5* Lodge at Doonbeg Golf Club. The prize included two nights accommodation for two people in an ocean view suite, a round of golf at the famous Greg Norman designed golf course, and a pampering session at the Lodge’s White Horses Spa. The winner will also enjoy a dolphin watching trip for two from Kilrush Creek Marina; their choice of a mediaeval banquet at Bunratty, Knappogue or Dunguaire Castles, or a Traditional Irish Night at Bunratty Folk Park. The prize also included free admission to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and a visitor pass to the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre.
Speaking about the value of the programme Siobhan King, Shannon Development Tourism Officer County Clare said, “We were delighted to assist the programme producers with their outside broadcast. Over 350,000 people listen to the Tubridy Radio show and it was a great opportunity to promote Clare’s rich music heritage, its sporting prowess, and the wonderful warmth of its people to a national audience. We would be confident that the show will draw additional domestic visitors to the area.”
