TV and radio presenter Dermot O’Leary will present an ITV series promoting tourist destinations across Ireland…
It’s great news for people of Wexford and for tourism in Wexford, as it has been confirmed that Dermot O’Leary – who hails from Wexford – will be showcasing the beautiful food destinations and the excellent food producers from across Wexford in the series.
Filming is currently taking place across Ireland and the series is set to be broadcasted to ITV’s large viewership later this year. The series will follow Dermot as he tours, tastes and bakes his way around the island of Ireland, meeting with local food producers, chefs and restaurateurs along the way.
Dermot’s ‘Taste of Ireland’, will be a five-part series taking place in Kinsale, Cork City, Wexford, Dublin and Belfast. The series is being supported by Tourism Ireland.
Speaking about the initiative, Alice Mansergh, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, said:
“Tourism Ireland was delighted to support the production of this new five-part series, Dermot’s Taste of Ireland.”
“With millions of people across Britain set to tune into the series later this year on ITV1 and on the streaming service ITVX, it’s a great way to shine a spotlight on the island of Ireland – showcasing our delicious local produce, wonderful culinary offering and beautiful landscapes.
“Publicity and broadcasts like this are a key element of Tourism Ireland’s programme of promotional activity, to encourage travellers in Britain, and elsewhere around the world, to put the island of Ireland on their holiday wish-list.”
