“Care is one of the values that stick out for me in particular — Fáilte Ireland genuinely cares about its employees and their long-term careers. There’s a lot of opportunities for growth in Fáilte Ireland, with a real commitment from the organisation to both personal and professional development for all employees across the board.”

“I’m very proud to work for Fáilte Ireland, and be part of an organisation making such a positive impact to sustainably grow tourism across the country, which in turn facilitates job creation and benefits local economies in every county,” she explains. “Coming from Kerry myself, an area of Ireland that relies so heavily on tourism, it makes me proud to think that my work everyday can help contribute even in a small way to supporting the industry. 

To work for Fáilte Ireland, you definitely have to be passionate about Ireland and its people, but then again how could you not be passionate about our amazing country?”
