Conal Harvey, Managing Director, EPIC Ireland said: ‘The vision and objective of EPIC Ireland is to be the essential first port of call for visitors to Ireland, the first piece of orientation for any trip. Its purpose is to tell untold epic stories in a unique, highly entertaining and informative way.’

It will also enable those with no connection to Ireland or its Diaspora to have the opportunity to understand this story of the Irish people and why emigration looms so large in the Irish consciousness both in the past and today.’
