The luck of the Irish

The luck of the Irish

A lucky group of top-selling STA travel agents have returned from an incredible famil to Ireland and Manchester.

The group travelled with Shamrocker Adventures and Etihad Airways, kicking off in Dublin on April 18.

The city’s unique spots were discovered by foot and  the historical national sport of hurling was given a good go.

During the week-long famil the group also explored the magical world of the Burren, Ireland’s lunar landscape and home of the leprechauns, visited Inis Mor Island and saw the eight natural wonder of the world – The Giant’s Causeway, before flying to Manchester for a match with the locals at Etihad Stadium.
