There's no shortage of information published on Ireland, much of it free; it's well worth contacting the local office of the Irish Tourist Board (Bord FA?ilte) and/or the Northern Ireland Tourist Board before you leave. Alternatively, the Internet has a wealth of sites, giving information not only on Ireland's history, culture and politics but also a range of practical advice on visiting the country.

We've listed Bord FA?ilte and NITB offices outside Ireland. Once in Ireland , you'll find some kind of tourist office in nearly every town which has a reasonable number of tourists passing through: either a branch of Bord FA?ilte or the NITB, or a locally run information centre, many of which open only for the summer. Most of these are listed in the relevant sections of the guide and are usually extremely helpful, providing local maps and leaflets as well as information on where to stay (booking charge A?1-2/a?¬1.27-2.54). It has to be said, though, that they only give details on services which they have approved, thereby excluding some excellent hostels, campsites and private bus services, and they tend to be reluctant to show favouritism among hotels and restaurants, so always go to them for information, not advice. A Bord FA?ilte or NITB recommendation implies a certain standard of service, however, so if you don't think your approved B&B comes up to scratch, they are the people you should complain to.
