About the new ad campaign

Niall Gibbons, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, said:

As people everywhere around the world celebrate St Patrick’s Day, we are delighted to roll out our new ‘Fill your heart with Ireland’ campaign this week. It will highlight our rich and authentic experiences, breathtaking landscapes and, in particular, our warm welcome – encouraging people to put the island of Ireland on their holiday ‘wish list’ for 2023.

Gibbons explained that their aim is to deliver “stand-out” for Ireland in a hugely competitive international marketplace. Moreover, the “Fill your heart with Ireland” campaign is set to position the country as a place that “fills the heart and restores the spirit,” adding:

Our people and welcome are key differentiators for Ireland from our competitor destinations; and this campaign puts them front and center.
