Kennedy Library Foundation, Ian Pullan, General Manager of InterContinental Boston Hotel, and Colm Gannon, All-Ireland accordion champion. 

The Guide also contains reviews of new Irish records and books, and feature stories on Ireland’s 2014 promotion, The Wild Atlantic Way.

There is also information on traveler amenities like hotels and travel agencies, pubs and restaurants, gift shops and retail shops, museums and cultural associations.
