World Paella Day took place on the 20th September. The Spanish Tourism Office in Dublin kindly invited a number of Press, including yours truly, to a foretaste in the atmospheric surroundings of A Taste of Spain on Camden Street.
Originating in Valencia, paella is one of the most universally recognised dishes of Spanish gastronomy. Like all good ‘national’ dishes, paella is a meal of humble Valencian origins that has transcended borders.

TIGS Con Horgan Presidents day
16th September 2022 at 12:00 pm #TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
Our President, Mr Con Horgan, hosted lucky TIGS members in his own club, Royal Dublin Golf Club on September 6th in what was our final outing of the 2022 season. A very fitting end to a successful TIGS season, not only did Con host at his home club, but his Castlerosse Park Resort in Killarney also generously sponsored the event and prizes. As we kept an eagle (the only eagle experienced for the day!) eye on the weather, luck was on our side for the front 9, and despite a deluge from the 14th, the day went off swimmingly otherwise. Regrettably, a few golf balls went for a swim too, but that was conversation for the 19th!

There was plenty of ‘Bonjour’ and ‘Bon Voyage’ as Shannon Airport staff welcomed the start of a brand-new service to Paris Orly with a new carrier, Vueling. The twice weekly service to Paris Orly Airport will operate on Mondays and Fridays from today.
