Fáilte Ireland is encouraging everyone to come out and attend the broadcasts and to arrive early. Looking forward to the arrival of the popular RTE Radio 1 show, Miriam Kennedy, Head of the Wild Atlantic Way, Fáilte Ireland, said –

This is the fifth consecutive year the show has chosen to experience the Wild Atlantic Way and we are delighted to be supporting it.

“Spectators coming down to watch the broadcast - whether in Clonakinty, Kenmare, Roundstone, or Ballina - can expect to see plenty of festivities, interviews, live music as well as hear about local tourism highlights. We are encouraging everyone to come on down and join in the fun and discover ways to ‘Embrace the Wild Atlantic Way of Life through the airwaves.”
