Kiwi TV show samples fruits of Clare

NEW Zealand’s popular morning television programme Breakfast, which airs on national station TVNZ, broadcast live from Clare to over 200,000 viewers last week.
Kiwi media personality and chef Annabelle White travelled around the country, broadcasting six 10-minute segments from different areas.
In Clare, she broadcast live from Lisdoonvarna, where she met with matchmaker Willie Daly, who introduced her to what he called ‘an ideal Irish man’ and from Doolin where she sampled some of the local fare and enjoyed a traditional session. She also broadcast some of the Burren Way, the Cliffs of Moher and surfing off the Clare coast.
Darragh Walsh of Tourism Ireland in New Zealand said, “This is a fun and different way to showcase Clare to a wide audience of potential holidaymakers around New Zealand.
“What makes this part of Ireland unique and special is its cheerful and friendly character and the wide variety of great things to see and do. Exposure on popular TV programmes like this helps us to raise awareness of Clare and the island of Ireland in New Zealand and will help us to grow visitor numbers from this market.”
