Patrick Cunningham

Hi, I’m Patrick Cunningham. I founded Things to Do in Ireland because my passion for this island is deeply rooted in its communities, local economies, and independent businesses. True Irish hospitality isn't just about the major landmarks; it’s built by the people working hard in our towns—the family-run cafes, activity providers, local pubs, and craft producers that give each county its character. Living in the heart of the Midlands, I wanted to build a completely transparent, easy-to-use discovery guide that helps visitors experience the authentic side of Ireland while giving incredible local businesses a clearer way to be found. Whether I'm mapping out driving routes, exploring mountain trails, or tracking down the best local food stops, my goal is to give you honest, practical travel insights to help you build the perfect Irish itinerary.
