County Louth – Contae Lú

Bigging up the Wee County is Blackrock’s Denise McQuaid.

Denise is CEO of Go Beyond Investing and lives in London.

She takes us on a tour of the county, including the mountains on the Cooley peninsula where her father came from and the coastal village of Blackrock where she grew up. It may be the ‘wee county’ but Denise tells us that the best things come in small packages.

Once it is safe to do so, Denise cannot wait to return to her village and breathe in the sea air (scientifically proven to be the best in Ireland, she claims) and its lovely views. 

She wishes everyone a safe and healthy St Patrick’s Day.
