Is Irish Hospitality still alive and kicking in Ireland? Well two girls found out as they attempted to travel around the East of Ireland for one week absolutely free! Travel around Ireland for Free is run in association with the Independent Holiday Hostels Association  of Ireland. The two volunteers this year are Claire Prendergast and Sadhbh O’Sullivan.

For one whole week the girls had to rely on Irish hospitality to put a roof over their heads, provide transport, feed, water and provide plenty of Guinness . Their journey ended today at Barnacles Hostel in Temple Bar. Looking for a free bed for the night, in good fun, Barnacles hostel decided to set a challenge for the girls so they could earn their keep! The Challenge:  to give out 50 free hugs in Temple Bar!!

The Barnacles Hostel Crew decided the only way to get the challenge up and running was to lead by example with staff member Denis giving the girls their first hugs of the day. The girls got some funny looks and stares but eventually some folks took pity on their cause and felt the love and the hugging began! Once the first few passersby joined in, the ball really got rolling with the girls reaching their target of 50 people in no time! With their free night earned, they had completed their mission proving that Irish hospitality is indeed alive and kicking!

The girls have travelled from Dublin down the east coast to waterford back up through Killkenny finally arriving at Barnacles Hostel in Dublin. With nothing in their pockets and a smile on their face they proved that the famous Irish welcome is still present in Ireland!!
