BuyIreland.com was featured on Liveline — Ireland's most popular radio phone-in show on RTE Radio 1 — in September 2018, when a caller named Philomena from Missouri rang in with a wonderful story.
Philomena's partner Dave had been given a square foot of Irish land by relatives as a gift, purchased through BuyIreland.com. When the couple travelled to Ireland, Dave was determined to find his plot — and so began what Philomena described as "a magical mystery tour around the Roscommon countryside."
Armed with their certificate of ownership and directions, the couple set off into the rolling green fields of County Roscommon to locate Dave's one square foot of Ireland. The story delighted listeners and the show's presenter, perfectly capturing the spirit of adventure and connection to Ireland that our gift inspires.
Liveline, broadcast on RTE Radio 1, is one of the longest-running and most listened-to radio programmes in Ireland. The show has been a cornerstone of Irish broadcasting for over 40 years, and being featured on it was a wonderful moment for BuyIreland.com — especially through the heartwarming story of a real customer who made the journey to visit their land.
