Got Ireland - A Great Irish Website

Got Ireland is a resource website for anyone interested in Irish history, culture and travel. It provides excellent insights into all things Irish.

GotIreland.com is one of my favorite Irish websites online.

Created and written by a fellow Irishman, Liam, who also now calls the US home, it is a fantastic place to learn about all the great things Ireland has to offer.

His logo is stunningly beautiful with intricate Celtic knotwork highlighting the lettering. I love how Liam describes his inspiration for creating his site:

"Sitting at home one night, reading some more negative news about Ireland, I decided I wanted to do my part to put some good stuff about Ireland on the web. Ireland has been kind of down in the dumps lately – high unemployment, EU bailout, emigration – you get the message."

Fond Memories of Ireland

So tired of all the doom and gloom about his homeland, Liam decided to do something. The Ireland of his childhood is a place to remember fondly, and he firmly believes that Ireland has not truly changed all that much. In his words.....

"Well, quite frankly, there’s enough about all that negativity online and on TV. People at home and abroad need to be reminded of all the good that Ireland has – our proud history, our music and culture, our resilience to what life throws at us, our friendly welcoming nature and so much more."

-Liam from GotIreland.com

With posts on culture, music, travel advice, destination reviews, and photos of Ireland, it is a great resource for anyone planning a trip to Ireland.
