The luck o' the Irish is now on every traveler's side, thanks to a new website catering exclusively to affordable, customized trips to Ireland. Launched just this week, IrishGetaways.com (http://www.irishgetaways.com/) is debuting as the definitive online resource for planning and booking trips to the Emerald Isle. People who've dreamed of visiting or who wish to return to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are discovering great luck through this one-stop webshop, dedicated to attention-grabbing prices for Ireland-only travel.

"Online vacation planning is at an all-time high, yet until now, there has been a definite void with regard to planning for affordable, highly individualized trips to Ireland via the Internet," says Randy Hobbs, president/CEO of IrishGetaways.com, Inc. "This site is packed with reliable booking tools, vacation information, and photos that support creative, detailed travel-planning without making it overwhelming. Plus, our team of travel specialists, who are just a free phone call away, are always available and ready to help by making great suggestions, providing insider tips or handling the booking for you."

IrishGetaways.com offers reservations and information related to air, hotel, car rental, railway, attractions, general and escorted tours, golf vacations, historical destinations, self-catering holiday homes, activities, and bed & breakfasts.
