Táin Trail Officer

The Role of the Táin Trail Officer

The Táin Trail is a long-distance route spanning counties Roscommon, Longford, Westmeath, Meath and Louth, inspired by the epic tale Táin Bó Cúailnge.

A project is underway to transform the Trail into a co-ordinated visitor experience. The Re-imagined Táin Trail has adopted a chapter-based approach and aims to develop connected visitor experiences across the region, encouraging longer stays, repeat visits and stronger regional engagement.

The project is community-led, supporting local areas to interpret and share the Táin story, while building sustainable tourism and economic opportunities along the Trail, delivering benefits for local communities.

The Táin Trail Officer will act as Project Manager for the Re-imagined Táin Trail, leading delivery across multiple organisations and stakeholders.

The successful candidate will:

• Drive programme delivery
• Build partnerships
• Lead marketing and communications
• Support community engagement and tourism development

The role is both strategic and operational, requiring strong leadership, organisational and communication skills.
