It’s the result of Tourism Ireland teaming up with the Irish Film and Television Academy to create a series of short videos to showcase the beauty of Ireland.
The newly released first video features Pierce Brosnan, who speaks passionately about his love for Ireland and, in particular, for County Kerry and his hometown of Navan in County Meath.
The former James Bond star opens aptly with, “What’s not to love about Ireland? This tiny island has shown the greatest gift of poetry and storytelling”.
He goes on to wax lyrical about his love for his native land, speaking over stunning shots of Ross Castle in County Meath, the Kerry coastline, its main town Dingle, the famous Ring of Kerry, the mountainous Reeks District and the much loved Skellig Islands lying off the coast, which featured in the Star Wars movie franchise.
The Hollywood star adds: “What do I miss about Ireland? It’s the people. The sheer stamina and life force of Irish people from this great, beautiful landscape”.
“I’m a Navan man, County Meath. I left Ireland when I was a boy, I was 11. So, over these many decades now going back there’s always something great to discover”.
His heartfelt message is also accompanied by images and clips of Ireland's traditional music and dancing”.
