German twinning delegation visit Oct 2023
Delighted to be asked to come to the CoachHouse Coffee eatery to meet and talk with the Märkischer Kreis delegation for thirty minutes about the stunning region of Kilmacthomas and the Waterford Greenway. Having an opportunity to stand and showcase the area was a real privilege as the delegation had such a busy itinerary the few days they had come over from Germany, so being added to their hectic schedule was so great. Waterford City & County Mayor Joe Conway also attended this occasion.
Waterford as a county has so much to offer visitors and I got the sense that the German delegation really felt welcome and experienced how friendly we are as a county for visitors, for far too long we’ve been the hidden gem of Ireland that only the locals know about and kept secret. The delegation was a mix of persons from many fields of interest such as Arts, Culture, Heritage, Industry etc. so to get their full attention during the talk followed with a Q&A session was fantastic.

Comeraghs Wild Festival 2022
2022’s festival had the theme of Nature and I was asked by Kilmacthomas Social Enterprise group to create a taster walking tour that could be shortened to the visitors to experience on Saturday afternoon the 6th July. In my planning of this event, the group informed me that Irelands favourite Naturalist Éanna Ní Lamhna would be accompanying me on the walk sharing the tour experience with the visitors.
Heritage Week 2022
On the Evening of Wednesday August 17th, I provided a group of 10 attendees my walking tour around Kilmacthomas for 2 hours starting at the doors of the Public Library in Kilmacthomas village. This was to share all the local heritage, flora and fauna & intriguing stories with those that did the guided walk. The response was great and some fantastic reviews were left on Tripadvisor afterwards.
Many heritage week events were offered to the public throughout the country so the public could pick and choose which events to attend.

Adrian Dunbar’s : My Ireland 2022
Season two of this very successful TV travel programme was recorded this summer and Adrian Dunbar visited the heart of the award winning Waterford Greenway and I had the privilege in sitting down to chat to him in the public park at Kilmacthomas village about what the greenway means to the county and all the advantages it has brought to the area in the last 5 years.
Stunning views were captured of the famous Kilmacthomas viaduct which stood proudly in the backdrop at the public park. This new season will air in around the Autumn of 2022 on Channel 5 UK, and Virgin Media One in the spring of 2023.
