Ireland is fifth-best destination to visit in 2015
World's leading travel guide 'Lonely Planet' ranks Ireland as one of the top destinations to visit next year
 |
Ireland has been ranked in the top five countries to visit in 2015 by travel bible 'Lonely Planet'. "Ireland is stunningly scenic," according to 'Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2015', which is published this week. The list is an annual collection of trends, destinations and experiences for the year ahead. "It is the real deal... its traditions - music, dance, whiskey and beer - are firmly intact, and the cosmopolitan, contemporary Irish are just as friendly and welcoming as their forebears were known to be."
Hospitality is one of Ireland's "true" qualities, it says. "The Irish themselves are inevitably at the heart of the best the country has to offer. Attend a traditional music session in a small pub in Clare. Hook up with a walking club and do a little cross-country ambling on a soft Sunday afternoon."
The ranking by one of the most recognised and influential travel guides serves as a major boost to the Irish tourism sector and shows encouraging signs that Ireland still rates alongside other top global destinations for tourists.

New Programme - BSc (Hons) in Computing
For those wishing to pursue a career in the areas of Data Analytics, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Web & Mobile Computing and Software Development
|
The BSc (Hons) in Computing aims to develop the student’s knowledge of the theory and practice of modern computing necessary for them to secure employment and perform as ICT practitioners in a broad range of commercial, industrial and public sector environments. Graduates will have a clear understanding of the practical, theoretical and professional foundations of computing science. The programme enables and supports students to develop critical analytical skills and to develop skills in applying theoretical concepts to the practice of computing.
The programme has been prepared in line with current developments within the ICT sector and is informed by consultation with employers. A key feature is its enhanced focus on employability. The programme incorporates a mandatory 10 month work placement, which is included to ensure graduates of the programme will have the required practical application of the programme content to ensure a smooth transition into the workplace and further progression within the workplace.
The BSc (Hons) in Computing responds to a known and often articulated skills shortage that exists in the ICT sector. The Irish Government and Industry recognise that there is an urgent requirement to ensure an adequate supply of ICT talent and skills from both the domestic and international markets to meet needs.
It is estimated that there will be approximately 44,500 potential job openings for ICT professionals in the period 2014-2018.
