Joe Walsh Tours, one of Irelandâs oldest travel agents and tour operators, has ceased trading after 60 years, citing Irelandâs travel protocols due to Covid-19 as âthe most restrictive in Europeâ. Joe Walsh Tours was established in 1961 and was family-owned. It was the largest fully Irish-owned tour operator providing group travel to pilgrimage destinations. Joe Walsh was born and raised in Bangor, Co Down, and on leaving school, he worked with the Ulster Transport Authority. On moving to London, he worked with Thomas Cook and saw the potential in the growing travel industry. A Dublin move followed, and in 1961 he set up his own business â Joe Walsh Tours â in a small office in Nassau Street with three employees.
