Sligo has just completed and launched its second Local Economic and Community Plan for Sligo, entitled Sligo 2030 Strategy One Voice Once Vision.
Sligo has long been known as Yeats Country as the poet WB Yeats, though born in Dublin, was greatly inspired by the county.
His mother Susan Mary Pollexfen was from a local wealthy merchant family, and he spent much time there through his life.
Now, a Yeats Trail has been devised so that visitors can “see the Sligo landscape through the eyes of Ireland’s national poet”.
Explore the rich history of Moygara Castle, Co. Sligo in the company of landowner PJ O’Neill and Dr. Kieran O’Conor, Senior Lecturer, School of Geography, Archaeology and Irish Studies, NUIG.
A new suite of digital content promoting Sligo as a world class place to live, invest and visit has been unveiled at Ireland West Airport Knock. This content includes videos and imagery of Sligo that forms part of the wider Sligo: Live Invest Visit branding initiative.
The content will be displayed on the modern digital display screens located around the airport. The use of digital displays at the airport allows the brand to showcase Sligo in a unique and flexible way that helps to give positive coverage of the County to a wider Irish and international audience.
