About the Group

The Ireland Travel Planning Tips Facebook Group was founded with the goal of providing potential members with practical advice on how to plan a vacation to Ireland. Since then, it has turned into a community hub where members seek answers on many topics, including accommodation, car rental, information on Ireland’s hidden gems, its fabulous restaurants and lively pubs, and so much more.

Of value to many are the resources that members can find within the group, including a very valuable licensed private driver list and files on other pertinent topics.

The group is growing daily, with many members expressing gratitude for the benefits that it provides. Engagement ranges from 26,000-28,000 members per day who view, post, comment or react to content in the group. Most of the members are based in the United States and they are the ones who most frequently request information on private drivers. We also have members from the UK, Continental Europe and other parts of the world.

We are truly a global community, and it’s something I’m really proud of. If you want to find out more about me, Colette Connolly, well, you can go to the About Me page on this website,
