Somebody pass the tissues please, we’ve got something in our eye…

This fantastic Fáilte Ireland video entitled “St Patrick’s Day 2014 #IrelandInspires” is an animated postcard showcasing Ireland’s strengths and highlighting the qualities that make this country a great place to be.

Set to the perfect soundtrack of James Vincent McMorrow’s ‘Higher Love,’ the video, according to the official Fáilte Ireland YouTube channel, “will be played for audiences gathering at Irish Embassy events across the globe this St Patrick’s Day (17 March 2014) and is tailored to appeal to visitors, investors and those attracted to the type of energy, creativity and potential which this nation can offer. ‘St. Patrick’s Day 2014 #Ireland Inspires’ was developed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Ireland and Fáilte Ireland to celebrate Ireland’s national day.”

It’s all in there; people with freckles and red hair, horses in stone-walled fields and none other than Packie ‘Big Hands’ Bonner himself…
