Dear Members,
Welcome to the Independent Tour Guides Association, my name is Jimmy Mulrooney and I am the current Chair of the association.
Our committee does a huge amount of work on behalf of our members, myself as Chair, Trudy Carmody, our Secretary, Gerry Shanley, our Treasurer and membership secretary and Sean Deegan, as Committee Member.
Our mission is clear: to provide meaningful support to our members by offering valuable on-going training and professional development, familiarisation trips, and networking opportunities.
We are also committed to increasing the association’s presence through enhanced use of our website and social media channels.
These efforts aim to strengthen our community and highlight the professionalism of Ireland’s guides to a global audience.
