From the website:
The Mission of the Department of Foreign Affairs is to advance Ireland’s political and economic interests in the European Union and in the wider world, to promote Ireland’s contribution to international peace, security and development both through the European Union and through active participation in international organisations, in particular the United Nations, to protect our citizens abroad, and to pursue reconciliation and partnership on the island of Ireland.
This is the name given to an area just south of Boston in the USA. The name meant nothing to me but then neither did one of the other names, Quincy County. But if I had been told that this included Plymouth Rock where the Pilgrim fathers landed in 1620, and Nantucket where the US whaling industry was once based then I might have realised just how important, historically, this region is. The subheading for the area, “Where American Begins” probably reflects the area better.
As Boston has direct flights to Dublin and London it is easy to tag a few days onto a Boston trip and spend a weekend exploring this area to the south. As to what to see, here are just a few suggestions.
You will know that the EU legislated some time ago so that you have redress against delays and cancellations when you fly. Those of you booking package holidays (where the flight and accommodation parts are sold as a package) have long been protected by the ATOL bonding scheme.
Now the EU has legislated to improve those who us who take cruises, travel on ferries or spend time on inland waterways. Attempts were made to expand the legislation to cover other transport forms that travellers use such as bus and coach but this hasn’t happened so they will still be less well protected than the rest of us.
Don’t get too excited though. It may take up to 2 years for the legislation to become law.
