Viewers will also see some of our wonderful scenery and top attractions like the Ring of Kerry, Dingle, the Reeks District, the Skelligs, Killarney – Ross Castle and Cahergall Stone Fort among others.
In the video, Pierce Brosnan praises Ireland, saying: I love the Kerry coastline; I love the Ring of Kerry. My father Tom Brosnan was a Kerryman, so I try to go back there as often as I can. What do I miss about Ireland? It’s the people – the sheer stamina and life force of Irish people, from this great beautiful landscape. I’m a Navan man, County Meath. I left Ireland when I was a boy, I was 11, so over these many decades now going back there’s always something great to discover.”
Áine Moriarty, IFTA CEO, a Kerry native, who connected IFTA with local Kerry professionals to source beautiful Kerry footage said: “IFTA is delighted to partner with Tourism Ireland to showcase the beauty of the Irish landscape alongside the voices and sentiments of our leading Irish Academy members such as Pierce Brosnan. Ireland has given so much to international film; our wonderful actors, filmmakers and spectacular filming locations. The Academy is proud to help showcase our beautiful country to the world”.
