Tourism Ireland has teamed up with the Irish Film and Tv Academy (IFTA) to create a series of short videos showcasing the beauty of Ireland.
The video is part of Tourism Ireland’s #FillYourHeartWithIreland campaign which has already amassed video views of over 45 million.
Today the first section was released featuring Hollywood legend Pierce Brosnan who speaks about his love of his hometown, Kerry.
In the video, Pierce Brosnan praises Ireland, saying: “What’s not to love about Ireland? This tiny island that has sown the greatest gifts of poetry and storytelling.
"I love the Kerry coastline; I love the Ring of Kerry. My father Tom Brosnan was a Kerryman, so I try to go back there as often as I can.
"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.”
The clip features beautiful imagery from all around the country with spectacular drone shots and incredible sunsets.
The aim of the campaign is to keep Ireland ‘top of mind’ with prospective international visitors when the tourism industry eventually re-opens.
Siobhan McManamy, Tourism Ireland’s Director of Markets, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to work with the Irish Film and Television Academy, and with Academy member Pierce Brosnan, to create this fantastic video.
"It will be seen by our fans and followers on social media around the world – allowing us to keep the beauty of Ireland to the fore.
"While we may not be able to travel just now, this video will inspire people for their future visit.”
