Desperate to attend a festival in Ireland this year but don't know where to start? Try this app. A Year of Festivals in Ireland comes as The Ticket's Mark Graham finishes a year-long quest to attend three festivals a week around the country. Whether you're into film or comedy, music or theatre, there's a beano out there for you. And more are being added as they confirm line-ups and dates. You can search alphabetically, by location, by type or even by distance from your location, and then add them to your own personalised festival line-up for the summer. With such a wide variety listed, you'll never have a weekend with nothing to do. There's even a virtual Child of Prague section, so you can do a bit of virtual tinkering to try to trick the Irish weather into staying sunny long enough to be useful. It's a nicely designed app, too; you can flick through a section on a virtual roll of Polaroid photographs, with a background of AAA passes from festivals around the country.
