Northern Ireland promotion for Shannon Region

A million people in Northern Ireland will hear about the Shannon Region as a holiday destination when six radio stations broadcast live at the weekend.

Over 40 tourism businesses from Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Offaly will be given an opportunity to sell their attractions and facilities live on air in a tourism promotion which has been organised by Shannon Development, reports the Limerick Leader newspaper.

Representatives from the six Northern Media Group radio stations travel to the Shannon Region this week to prepare for the live outside broadcasts which will take place in Killaloe/Ballina on Friday, June 19, from 2pm to 6pm and from a base at the Ballyhoura Mountain Biking Park in County Limerick on Saturday, June 20, from 2pm to 6.30pm. The six Northern Ireland radio stations are Q97.2 Fm; Seven Fm; Q102.9 Fm; Q101 Fm; Six Fm; and Five Fm.
