What Is D499?

The Dungarvan Chamber through a progessive sub Tourism and Leisure Committee is working actively to attract people from all parts of Ireland, the UK and beyond to visit or stay in our lovely town of Dungarvan. D499.ie was started and is driven by a voluntary group of Chamber members. It has now secured the committed support of Enterprise Ireland, Failte Ireland, WIT and our local Town and County Councils.

The concept is D499, this is Dungarvan for €99; whereby all businesses are invited to put forward packages that would be €99/9.99/127.99 etc.

The aim of the scheme is to grow the 'Dungarvan-more for less' brand across Ireland and the UK, offering quality and lots of information about activities and services available to visitors.
