While summer travel plans may be on hold Ireland of the Welcomes May / June 2020 issue bring the beauty of Ireland to its readers.
What a tumultuous few weeks we've all been through since our last issue of Ireland of the Welcomes magazine. While hopefully, the end is in sight we've all taken the lessons we needed to learn from our brush with COVID-19, here at IOW we're trying to provide a much-needed respite from news, reality, and social media.

And we, we're straddling a world where summer travel plans may be on hold but the seasonal beauty of Ireland continues. In the May / June issue of Ireland of the Welcomes magazine, we're looking back to the 1916 Rising, examining the literature of men such as James Joyce and JP Donleavy and looking at the peculiar way we Irish express ourselves.
Elsewhere, we explore the love of Adele Astaire (sister to the famous dancer/actor Fred), look at all that's to behold in the world-famous Phoenix Park, in Dublin, and bring some ceol (music) into our lives with TG4.
I do hope you enjoy this issue, and as we look to a new future and delayed summer let me quote Seamus Heaney and say "If we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere." But let's be honest, there's nowhere quite like Ireland.
