A UK television presenter has been attracting a lot of attention to Mayo by posting YouTube videos as he explores the Wild Atlantic Way.

Cllr Harry Barrett told members of Castlebar Municipal District last week that he had seen some of the videos posted of Mayo by Timmy Mallet and they were “very good and very successful”.

“Was that paid?”, he asked the district manager David Mellett.
