trail, the Kerry Way, and is also author of the best selling Southwest (New Irish Walk
Guides). Seán’s use of the Gaelic version of his name (John O Sullivan) reflects his
passion for Irish folklore and history. He is active in the local History Society and has
been involved in a number of Ireland environmental campaigns, including being
Chairman of the Kerry Association of An Taisce (the National Trust for Ireland) for
three years. Sean has been an avid walker all his life and has also contributed to
numerous hiking guide books, magazine articles, and newspapers about walks in
Ireland. Through his founding of the Kerry Way, he helped to conserve ancient
walking routes and access to historic sites. As a director of Go Visit Ireland and a
