    Aine's relevance would come into play with her "videos".
    If you've ever seen them (lucky if you haven't) they are normally filmed at Sligo's premiere locations like Dooney rock and Slios wood so in a cruel sort of way she is promoting Sligo's beauty spots.

    As for the McEniffs. As they deal primarily in the Hospitality and Lesiure trade I think their influence (if any) in Sligo is relevant to tourism in a certain way.

    For example the Music venue on Markievicz Road was owned by them and could have sorted out the lack lustre music scene in Sligo which would affect tourism.

    Just my two cents!:D

    +1

    as a kind of local celebraty, aine would have some relavence, altough, tobe fair, she wasn't even mentioned in many of the posts, but a few

    as for the mceniff reference, could also argue that its the way to do things, and a possible example on how things could be done in sligo

    Yeah probably the same ones then.

    There is another one, not a horrible one like the others but it is just so stupid and very cringe worthy for the guy in the video.
    He is singing his version of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" but he is saying "They tried to make me go to Sligo, I said no, no, no". I am so embarrassed for that guy! Ha

    Although this is slightly (no totally) OT they are not the only ones.
    There are three other clubs in the same boat.

    Whats changed? The FAI calling the shots and the "Big 5" running the show. It's the Scottish PL all over again!

    The McEniffs are not relevant to this thread about improving 'tourism'
    ....Not true
    Of course they are. They are the most important people in tourism in the North West in general and the most influential. Look at Donegal.
    When discussing 'Sligo tourism it should be discussed in a wider context as in 'North West' and not just 'Sligo.
    As for Aine. lighten up a little about her. She's great. Her 'tourism' videos are meant to be a bit of craic. We all need a bit of fun in our lives.

    I don't think she means those videos to be a bit of craic.
    She seems serious about them.
    But yeah it's funny for everyone else because of the absolute state of the video but now she could make some without her in it. That might be better.

    She's just an attention whore, she doesn't care what sort of it is, or how she puts herself across, so long as people are looking at her.

    I know at least a dozen people or more who have said to me that ONE of the reasons that they have come to Sligo this year for holidays/weekends etc is, believe it or not.... Aine

    Calling her a 'whore' is a bit rough isn't it. She's a great advertisement for this area. She's the type of woman any red blooded man would love to meet on a night out in Sligo.

    Aine's great. It's a pity there weren't more of her around here.

    He called her an attention whore. There's a difference. I agree with him.

    To be honest, if I want to advertise Sligo I'll advertise SLIGO. Not my body.

    We don't need women to dress in a manner the more than adequately fails to please the eye and make silly video's with the same speech in every single one of them to promote Sligo.

    She may have fans who "like her to dress like a woman" (yeah, right! :rolleyes:) but I have a very different opinion on how she dresses and the type of people she's bringing to Sligo.

    IMO, Aine is an embarrassment.

    There can never be enough 'bad mouthing' of Aine Chambers. She saw it fit to put herself in the public eye (however questionable her methods were) and as a result she should be subject to the same rigours of criticism that everyone else in the public eye is subjected to.

    By the same token, if anyone has anything positive to say about her, lets hear it.............................

    Its only a bit of fun at the end of the day. I can understand women giving out about her but men as well???
    I don't honestly know why people getting so upset about her?

    It is embarrassing.
    It might not be as embarrassing if she wore nice clothes and got a hair cut.
    Also she could practise her poses a bit more!!!
    Still, it's a laugh though!
    She must like people laughing at her not with her

    If W.B.Yeats were alive and kicking now, he would have dedicated his poem 'Sweet Dancer' to Aine especially after all of the negative comments that were said about her.

    Sweet Dancer

    The girl goes dancing there
    On the leaf-sown, new mown, smooth
    Grass plot of the garden;
    Escaped from bitter youth,
    Escaped out of her crowd,
    or out of her black cloud.
    Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!

    rgds Aine,

    Jabby

    PS Stop slagging her off.
