Thousands have already viewed the first episode of the series on social media which sees the couple joined by their daughters, Bo, Edie and baby Blaise, discover the beauty of the Limerick countryside through the eyes of their little ones. 

New episodes of Ciara & Jon’s Road Trip Reality air every Friday in July on www.youtube.com/shinydaytv

In the first episode, Ciara and Jon travel to Limerick city and experience the sights that the city has to offer, including King Johns Castle and the Thomond Park Museum. Each episode showcases aerial images of the landscape where they visit.

The family also visit Limerick’s famous Milk Market, the Dreamland Fun Centre in Rhebogue and discover Lough Gur and its famous Stone Circle while exploring the ancient site’s enchanted Fairy Trail.  They also take in a family kayaking trip on the River Shannon with Nevsail and discover Bunratty Castle and Folk Park.

The new series takes an inspirational, humorous and realistic look at travelling the country with toddlers in tow. In their down to earth, witty and often brutally honest style, Ciara and Jon attempt to figure out how best to juggle nap time and feeding routines, with tourist attractions and sight-seeing.

Host, Jon Slattery, of Trilogy Media, said: “We’re really excited about our Limerick travel series for Ciara & Jon’s Road Trip Reality, and we had such fun experiencing the city and county as a family! We had such a fun time in Limerick and we’re thrilled with the figures who have already watched the first episode across social media on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. We’re looking forward to taking viewers along on our adventures for the rest of our Limerick feature which profiles the city and county as the Gateway to the Wild Atlantic Way, we certainly had a fantastic experience as a family.”

Laura Ryan, Limerick City and County Council Head of Marketing and Communications, added that Limerick.ie will feature and promote all of the series to help people planning their trips to Limerick this year: “We have a great online and hugely popular resource in Limerick.ie which features a wealth of information about things to do in Limerick this Summer, which is particularly useful for families planning short summer breaks. This is a new  medium for users to browse what’s on offer and it’s great to see such engagement from the public online.”
