On Wednesday the 10th June some of the Inishowen Tourism Staff ventured from the office to
Dunfanaghy in the hope of meeting Ryan Turbidy.
2FM Radio were broadcasting the Ryan Tubridy Morning Show live and we
were hoping to meet the man himself and invite him to Inishowen.
In the second year of this discover Ireland
Campaign instigated by Failte Ireland, the 2FM team broadcasted live from
Westport, Rosses Point in Sligo and of course Dunfanaghy in Co. Donegal. Every
year a new destination along the Wild Atlantic Way is picked and our aim was to get this
show to Inishowen next year. On arrival to Dunfanaghy, in true Donegal
style the locals and the weather welcomed the roadcaster and the 2FM Radio team
with open arms. Ryan made every attempt to speak to the local children and local business people, He was
particularly interested on how the Wild Atlantic Way was having an impact on the area. The
Locals spoke highly of the Wild Atlantic Way and have already seen an increase in
visitors to the area. Ryan himself spoke very highly of the great tourism
product in Dunfanaghy, participating in some activities himself and more
importantly told all this listeners about his experience.
