About me

- Offaly GAA
- Sean-Nós ’17 & ’18
- Jiving ’14
I grew up in Offaly, played for my county, and learned to dance before I learned to drive. The dancing stuck: All-Ireland Jiving Champion in 2014, and All-Ireland Sean-Nós Champion in 2017 and 2018. Sean-nós is the old way — solo, low to the floor, learned in kitchens. You can’t buy your way into it, and that’s the point.
Seven years ago I started travelling Ireland with American visitors, and I saw the same thing over and over: good people, planning the trip of their lives, handed off to whichever company shouted loudest online. Some got lucky. Plenty didn’t. The difference was never the price — it was who was actually driving, cooking, answering the phone.
So I made the choosing my job. I work with two or three Irish tour companies — small, family-run, the kind where the owner’s name is on the van and the standard is personal. I’m not paid to steer you to anyone; I’m paid to match you well. And once you land, I’m your man in Ireland: one number, answered by me, at any hour.
If we’ve never spoken, start with the planner or justcall me. I’d rather hear your story than send you a brochure.
Why “independent” matters
A booking site earns when you click. A tour operator earns when you buy their tour. I only do well when the match is right — because my name and my reputation are the entire business. That’s why there are only two or three partners, and why I’ll tell you plainly when something isn’t worth your money.
