Two Donegal families have landed major roles as part of a massive advertising campaign by Failte Ireland.

Failte Ireland is launching a major Wild Atlantic Way Marketing campaign, and Donegal will have a starring role in it.

Louisa Harley and Mark Forrester were cast as models for Failte Ireland.

Their children Taylor Lee, Jayden and Ashton are students of the Karen Gorman Academy of Speech and Drama & Casting Agency.

This time, the roles being cast were for adults and parents – and Louisa and Mark, Letterkenny, along with Patricia and
Gerry Duke, Donegal Town, were successful in being chosen as models.

A delighted Karen told Donegal Daily, “This was a very exciting project for us to be involved in given the huge profile that Failte Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way campaign has.

“We were successful in having not 1 but 4 clients cast.

“They were all an absolute delight for the photographer to work with and their photos may be used by any company involved in the tourism industry as they are going to be part of Failte Ireland’s Content Pool.

“This really widens the scope of their exposure so we are thrilled! Patricia Duke has modelled many times in the past, one of her campaigns was for the Ryan Air Brochure.

“Herself and husband Gerry made a fantastic team. Louisa and Mark were absolute naturals and are the pride of their sons in Speech and Drama class.

“What amazing role models they are for their very talented boys.”
