Economic boost for Galway with designation as Home of Halloween hub

Galway has been chosen as one of the country's seven Home of Halloween destinations for this year.

Now in its second year, this is a collaborative all-island programme led by Fáilte Ireland, Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland.

It celebrates the island's role as the birthplace of Halloween through festivals and visitor experiences inspired by Samhain traditions.

This year the programme will feature activity across seven destinations including Galway, Fingal, Kerry, Kilkenny, Limerick, Longford and Westmeath and Meath and Louth.
