Ireland, an Island steeped in heritage and culture, a civilisation that fascinates our closest neighbours in Europe and holds a place of deep affection in more far flung lands.

The Irish are extremely proud of being Irish, many would say because of our fight to retain our identity in the past.  Once our land was torn apart, first in a War of Independence and then in a senseless Civil War. 

That's our more recent history, there is lots to read about in our pages on various towns of our region, that we hope you will visit including Julianstown, Drogheda, Swords, Slane and many more...

But there is more than just the battle against Britain...  there is Newgrange older than the Egyptian Pyramids or our music tradition that is explored at the Seamus Ennis Centre. 

There is the everyday interaction with Irish people, their love for a chat...  our inquisitive nature may be the reason we have earned our reputation as a friendly nation, maybe!.

In the region of CityNorth Hotel there is so much to discover and enjoy, we hope our website and this section in particular will give you a real feel of what there is to see and do and to really experience all we have to offer.
